Promiscuous homosexual men must alter their lifestyles so as to reduce the risk.

Anal sex, whether male-to-male or male-to-female may be associated with an increased risk of AIDS. This may be so, not only from direct spread of the virus through the semen but also because this sexual practice may impair the body’s immunity. This may occur through injury to the bowel wall allowing sperm to enter the blood stream and produce antibodies which may interfere with immunity against disease. By wearing a condom for anal sex this may greatly reduce the risk of spreading AIDS, and also the other sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhoea.

There is virtually no risk to the general public who do not belong to one of the high-risk groups. The widespread alarm in the community and in specific groups appears to be unwarranted.

The number of cases of AIDS is doubling every six months in the U.S. and no doubt the same will apply here. This is a great worry for those in the high-risk groups and also for the public health bodies. It is NOT a problem for the average person.
