Curiously, according to the CDC, lesbian sex rarely results in the transmission of HIV. Women who get HIV almost always get it from sex with a man or injection drug use ("IDU" in their chart). In fact, transmission of HIV via lesbian sex is so rare it does not even appear in the CDC's chart of how HIV is transmitted:
"MSM" in the chart is men who have sex with men, which obviously is not about women.

(At the above link, click on "How does HIV affect different groups of people?" to see the chart.)

Basically, your source is an idiot who does not pay attention to actual facts. If you want to avoid HIV, your best bet is to never use injected drugs and never have sex with a man.
Yeah, I thought that was weird too. Men have more juices, so how 2 women can spread disease easier than a man and a woman makes no sense to me.
Since you have quoted me, I have updated my post. It is possible to get HIV from lesbian sex, but it is extremely rare. Here is a link on it:

I add that because I want to be clear that I am not saying that one is perfectly safe regarding HIV if one has lesbian sex. But it is much, much safer than heterosexual sex.
