Researchers ID Risk Factors for Heterosexual HIV Transmission
http://www.ucsf.edu/daybreak/1997/08/826_aids.htm
The researchers estimate the odds of a an HIV-postive male infecting a female partner in an unprotected sexual encounter is about 9 in 10,000.
[snip]
Females are about eight times more likely than males to become infected by their HIV-positive partners,
i.e. a man having unprotected sex with an HIV-positive female has about one 0.0001125 chance of catching it (roughly, 1 chance in 8889 sexual event). That is if there is abstinence from anal sex and that the female has no other STDs.
Maybe that'll calm Easton's anxieties.
A good source of information is

It is from a group of called "Liberated Christians", promoting polyamory and sex. Their punch line is "Doesn't The Bible Teach That Sex Belongs Only In Monogamous Marriage? Take out your Bible and show us where!" They are promoting responsible non-monogamy within the Christian faith
