There is a multi-million dollar AIDS study in progress in Pittsburgh, and the
director of that study gave a recent seminar presenting their preliminary
results.  They have found that the active sexual partner is much more likely 
to spread AIDS than the passive partner, and that oral-anal contact is
suspected as being 8 times more important than intercourse as a factor in the 
spread of AIDS.  The presence of the virus in saliva thus becomes a very
important clue.
