The possibility of spreading AIDS is no different for gay people than it is for straight people. If the infected bodily fluids of one person get inside another person's body, the virus can be transmitted. The two main ways of spreading the HIV virus that causes AIDS are:
- unprotected sex (straight or gay)
- sharing of syringes
