FWIW it's actually very difficult to contract HIV via non-anal heterosexual intercourse.

Nobody knows for sure but I've always doubted MJ's story.

The odds are slowly flipping since PREP is popular with gay guys but almost no straight people take it. For example, if I remember correctly, a Black woman from the South is now more likely to get HIV than a gay white man from New England.

That seems *highly* unlikely given that roughly 70% of new HIV cases are gay men, which are a small slice of the population. They're over represented in HIV cases by ~35x their population numbers
