Guest guest Posted October 7, 2001 Report Posted October 7, 2001 Hi Michael, Its nice to see you, hope you are well. I wanted to thank you for this brief. For years the medical community was saying this disease was virtually impossible to get through sex. The risk was less then 5%. Kind of strange how they are now stating is is more contagious then HIV??????? Thanks!!
