CDC mentioned heterosexual (male-female) contact as a High risk Activity..., I asked them what they mean by heterosexual (male-female) contact, their reply was "Heterosexual (male-female) sexual contact includes both vaginal/anal intercourse and genital-to-genital contact between a man and a woman."
This answer is quite confusing to me, since i read that genital contact is low risk activity...
Please see below mail snippits..

Thank you for your inquiry to CDC-INFO. We are sorry for the delay in responding to your email. A recent high volume of inquiries has slowed our response time. Your request to know the definition of heterosexual contact in the HIV surveillance reports was forwarded to subject matter experts within CDC’s Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention. We are pleased to provide you with their response.
Heterosexual (male-female) sexual contact includes both vaginal/anal intercourse and genital-to-genital contact between a man and a woman.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, by heterosexual (male-female) contact, do you
mean penetrative sex(intercourse) or just a genital to genital contact
(outcourse-non penetrative) or both?
