Not knowing what `inspire' means, and only having a shitty dictionary at
hand, I can only guess that the definition you're using is either

   a) "stimulate to activity" -- sad but true, or

   b) "inhale" (or maybe ingest in some other fashion)

Anyway, could you (or someone) elaborate on ways in which AIDS is acquired
from women?

Also, I just realized that I know that AIDS can be transmitted
via semen or blood, but I don't know how such fluids must contact or
be ingested by the recipient.  For example, I would guess that AIDS
could be transmitted in menstrual fluids (can it also be found in
non-blood vaginal secretions?), but I don't know if it can be
transmitted to a person by bodily contact, or by oral sex.
