The act of anal sex is not contained to gay intercourse, and a great majority of heterosexual couples also practice it. This practice like any, where body fluid is transmitted, can cause the virus to be transmitted.
The active and passive partner is equally at risk.
Either partner can contract the virus 
The HIV virus is found in blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid (cum), or vaginal fluid of an infected person.
The risk will increase if your partner has any others sexually transmitted diseases.
For the passive partner
For the active partner
If you are inserting your penis into an infected partner you could also contract the disease as it could enter your system through the urethra opening at the tip of your penis, or if cuts, never mind how small, abrasions or sores are present.

Questions that you were to afraid to ask
Please remember - if you have any question regarding your health, or are concerned about the possibility of having this disease, please discuss it with your health practitioner.
Laboratory testing is still the preferable way to test for HIV infection, since it is done in a clinical setting, but should you be concerned about your status after reading any of the facts about HIV infection you could look at our Aids home test kit which is a quick "Rapid" type of test to do initial screening and to ascertain the presence of antibodies.
