Two questions came up at our county AIDS task force.  Does the use of
either vaginal sponges or birth control pills increase the chances that
a woman who is exposed to HIV will become infected?  Also, does the use of
birth control pills increase the chances that an infected woman will trans-
mit the virus to an unprotected sexual partner?  Thanks.
