You mean you don't have an answer? I guess you don't have any straight
friends or any children because you show zero interest in the safety
of either.

The issue is merely one of providing factually accurate information.
You don't want someone reading something and taking risks because
of mistakenly thinking there is no risk at all.  I might add that the
the data on the CDC web site agrees with what I posted: otherwise
you'd have no risk at all for heterosexual transmission and that
simply is not the case.

So, why don't you crawl back under a rock and not come back until you
are willing to have an intelligent conversation?
