That makes sense, but I still want to know what kind of pill would be useful for one orientation but not another. It's not as if the virus can detect whether or not someone is a homosexual, you know?

I'd be interested in seeing the remaining studies when they're completed.

But the transmission is slightly different as it's usually due to anal sex. It's much harder for men and women to get the virus via PiV sex.

So that's why it didn't necessarily say straight couples, but M-F couples. It's not the orientation that matters but the transmission vector.
