Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Anal sex is the riskiest type of sex for getting or transmitting HIV. Being the receptive partner (bottom) is riskier than being the insertive partner (top). The bottom’s risk is higher because the rectum’s lining is thin and may allow HIV to enter the body during anal sex.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sexual contact-HIV is spread most commonly by sexual contact with an infected partner. The virus enters the body through the lining of the vagina, vulva, penis, rectum, or mouth during sexual activity. Blood contamination-HIV may also be spread through contact with infected blood.
