    Roger Dorn should get himself tested.

    The overwhelming majority of women in the United States who contract the virus each year get it from heterosexual encounters.

    Female-to-male transmission is low, not male-to-female.

    It should be noted that though it may have been heterosexual intercourse, there's a pretty high likelihood that many of the women Sheen slept with probably engaged in the riskier behavior of receptive anal sex (and quite possibly sharing needles during drug use).

    I don't doubt that for a second.

    I don't know what the hell people are thinking. I wasn't perfect in my day, but I was probably way more cautious than I even needed to be.

    bigpern23 already pointed it out, but having a heterosexual encounter is not necessarily the same thing as vaginal intercourse. Eighty four percent of new infections in women are connected to heterosexual experiences. That's about 8,000 women who became infected from their male partners.

  8. Can't he be prosecuted for this?
    Its been done in Canada and I thought either Tn. Or 'Bama.
    Pretty sure knowingly infecting partners, especially multiple partners is a criminal. At least in some parts of world.

    And, to be sure, a lot of them are actually from vaginal intercourse. There's just a lot of vaginal intercourse going on.
