Yes Peter, but the figures you quote(I didn't mean to imply that you had made them up), say very little about transmission rates, other than that women and men are almost equally suseptible to new hiv infection.

When the population is broken down into smaller demographics, we see that homosexual men are more than 50 times more likely to be affected than heterosexual men.

This of course affects the male /female infection ratio.
