In terms of statistical risk generally homosexual populations in developed countries as well as drug users are at greater risk. In areas of high prevalence there is a risk to most people who have active sex lives.
In practical risks everyone who has any form of sexual contact: Anal, Vaginal, and oral (unless they can find a way to refute oral transmission) has risk regardless of their sexuality. Similarly drug users also have risk if they are sharing needles.
Its important if you're a heterosexual or a homosexual to understand that a risk exists and that just because you don't fall into a high risk category doesn't mean that it cant happen to you.
