The right answer is young women.

Women are more likely to be infected with HIV in any type of sexual intercourse than men because of biological factors - the mucosal areas exposed during intercourse are larger in women than in men. men; more fluids transferred by the man than by the woman; higher virus content of s-e-x fluids transmitted by men; and microdissure of va-gi-nal (or re-ct-um) tissue may be caused by se-xual penetration. Young women are more likely to be infected.
