Hi, I am well aware of the risks of unprotected receptive anal sex, but how risky is unprotected insertive anal sex? Would it be more or less risky than unprotective insertive vaginal sex? Anyone have any knowledge on the subject?

I believe it is considered more risky than insertive vaginal sex, because typically, there is more bleeding during anal sex, and the anus is probably more air-tight than the vagina. However, I have heard that if there are no cuts on the penis, the risk is not as high as many people think. There is no doubt that it is a MUCH lower risk than receptive anal intercourse.

The only thing riskier than unprotected insertive anal sex is unprotected receptive anal sex. Unprotected insertive anal sex is considered risky because the rectum does not generate it's on natural lubrication and has much more of a tendency to have breaks and tears because there is no lubrication. Of course these breaks and tears could bleed, and if that blood comes into contact with the mucous membranes of your penis there is a high risk of infection since blood is the most infectious fluid when it comes to HIV. The reason that unprotected receptive anal sex is more risky is that if the insertive partner is HIV+ and ejaculates in the rectum then these breaks/tears are exposed to the HIV infected semen. Plus, there's no where for the semen to go, so the breaks/tears have a much longer period of time of being exposed to the infected semen.
Compare this to unprotective insertive vaginal sex and you can see why it less risky. The vagina has its own natural lubrication which means that breaks and tears in the vagina don't occur as frequently as in anal sex plus there is less chance of blood if that does happen. It's still risky because the mucous membranes of the penis are exposed to cervical secretions which have more virus than vaginal secretions that are found closer to the entrance of the vagina.
If you're going to have unprotected anal sex, use tons of lubrication. This will make the risk of those break/tears go down, but they will still be possible. The best situation is to use a condom and a water based lubricant when having anal sex.

Might I suggest that you read the below Questions/Answers from Ryan Kull reagarding mucous membranes. My answer(yes, that was me, but forgot to put my name in) is correct and mucous membranes are NOT just what you read on Yahoo Health. Maybe you should do a little more research first before posting your opinions. Here's the revelant section of one of the questions and the URL of the full Q/As. If you do a search in the Safe Sex forum for the word "mucous" you will find a lot of these answers.
2) Mucous membranes are basically the lining of the passages or cavities inside your body that serve to protect you from infections and absorb nutrients. The lining of the vagina, anus and rectum, mouth and throat, urethra (the tube you pee out of), eyes, and nose, are all considered mucous membranes.
