Question about HIV...?

Place these sexual activities from low risk to high risk for contracting HIV/AIDS when lowest risk is (1) and highest risk is (11). (Terms are a mixture of scientific terms, romantic terms, and street terms -- as you will most likely come across all of these language types while working with the general population).
oral sex
. mutual masturbation
. coitus as insertive partner
coitus as receptive partner
holding hands
-. anal sex
"french" kissing
- golden shower
making love while using a condom
. frottage
hugging
Answers:
1. holding hands
2. hugging
3. frottage (rubbing genitals against another person's body)
4.mutual masturbation
(all no risk, although MM could be a theoretical risk, depending on what happens to any ejaculate).
5. Golden shower (theoretical risk but no reports of transmission)
6. French kissing (one "possible" case identified but negligible risk)
7. oral sex (very occasional cases reported, mainly receptive oral sex with ejaculation, and possible co presence of other infections such as gonorrhoea)
8. vaginal or anal sex using a condom (minimal risk if condom remains intact, possible risk if it doesn't)
9. insertive vaginal sex
10. receptive vaginal sex
11. anal sex, especially receptive
(the last three all thoroughly documented modes of HIV transmission).
