Unsafe sex sets women at higher HIV risk than men, as the results of a study show that the virus can penetrate even safe vaginal tissue.
Previously, it was believed that just damaged vaginal tissue could pave a way for the virus. But now the current findings suggest that HIV can breach the healthy tissue as well.
Different HIV charities in UK urged women to avoid unsafe sex without knowing about the health of their partner.
Squamous epithelium, the vaginal lining was believed to keep the infection at bay, but the study says that the Virus can penetrate it as well.
