{{US health officials have published details of a rare case of suspected female-to-female HIV infection.}}<\/p>\n

A 46-year-old woman “likely acquired” the virus during a six-month monogamous relationship with a HIV-positive woman in Texas, said the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).<\/p>\n

She was infected with a strain that had a 98% genetic match to her partner’s.<\/p>\n

The virus can be transmitted when bodily fluids come into contact with cuts, abrasions and mucus membranes.<\/p>\n

“In this case, the discordant couple [one HIV-infected partner and one uninfected partner] routinely had direct sexual contact – without using barrier methods for protection – that involved the exchange of blood through abrasions received during sexual activity,” the CDC said in summary of ta weekly report.<\/p>\n

The originally uninfected partner is said to have had a history of heterosexual relationships but none during the past 10 years.<\/p>\n

She also had none of the other HIV exposure risks, including intravenous drug use.<\/p>\n

Her partner, a 43-year-old woman, had stopped taking antiretroviral drugs in 2010.<\/p>\n
