Here goes Leatherguy: Jennifer Walters(Bruce Banner's cousin) was with Bruce when a gangster shot her (coz shes a lawyer and was defending someone against him) and was losing blood rapidly. Brucey-boy being the smarty-pants that he is, carried out a blood transfusion using his own blood and hey presto, she transformed into a 650lbs, green hotty, maintaining her intelligence but becoming superstrong, and all things hulk, but a bit less than the angry guy.
She was unable to revert since a SECOND exposure to gamma radiation... I think that reflects on the laziness of the illustrators though really. It was just that her transformations were hard to draw.
I expect anyone who had sexual intercourse with Banner or the She-Hulk would be likewise afflicted - that always seems to carry the same risks as blood transfusions.

Personally, I think it's okay to be lazy with She-Hulk's transformations because we already have that going on with the Hulk. A green giant who walks around in public, unafraid, unashamed is more interesting than another Hulk clone. The Thing is in the same boat as She-Hulk, but he isn't attractive like her, so the dynamic isn't the same. I think it's interesting to have a professional woman still practicing law in her condition.
The STI comparison is ridiculous. The gamma-irradiated blood isn't an infection, it's what it is-- blood. I'm not an expert on sexually transmitter infections, but I'm pretty sure that most people don't actually exchange blood during intercourse. The Hulk would have to be in Banner form to do this anyway (unless it was with his cousin... I'll give you a moment to block that image out), which means it's less likely he's going to tear his partner a new channel. Even if the Hulk made someone bleed during sex, he himself would have to bleed into their wounds. When STI's are transmitted, it is in several kinds of bodily fluids, not just blood. STI doesn't carry blood, blood carries STI. And gamma radiation sometimes.
