Are women more likely to get HIV than men?

Yes. Because of physical differences between women and men, women are generally more likely to acquire HIV infection than men if they come into contact with HIV through unprotected penile-vaginal intercourse. Women have a greater area of exposed tissue (the cervix and the vagina) than men. Also, small tears may occur in the vaginal tissue during sex. These tears are an easy pathway for infection.
Also,circumcision is associated with a reduced risk of HIV infection.
