CDC: Rare female-to-female HIV transmission - CNN.com

It is known that the likelihood of HIV virus transmission is lowest during female to female sex. Lowest, but not impossible.  The Center for Disease Control reported on 3.13.2014; a Texas woman now has the HIV virus identical to her female partner's.



CDC: Rare female-to-female HIV transmission - CNN.com: "(CNN) -- A Texas woman apparently contracted HIV through sexual contact with another woman, the Centers for Disease Control reported Thursday, a rare female-to-female transmission of the virus.
Testing confirmed the 46-year-old woman with newly diagnosed HIV "had a virus virtually identical to that of her female partner, who was diagnosed previously with HIV and who had stopped receiving antiretroviral treatment in 2010," according to the CDC's Weekly Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report."
