Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Aren't we all just one big, happy, HIV-sharing family? Casual contact sounds like a fun way to spread the love!

Of course HIV is transmitted by sexual contact, that's basic knowledge! The real question is, what's the best way to spice things up in the bedroom while staying safe? Condoms or nothing, am I right?
