Re: The HIV Paradox: A Tale of Two Males
[ QUOTE ]
Sarah is not a virgin, but she isnt a whore either. But, she has never been tested. Jordan would consider her less likely to have HIV than a member of the US adult population picked at random (that number is 0.6% ( source)). He is willing to cut that number in half, to 0.3%. [/ QUOTE ] I think this is where yours assumptions may be faulty. People like Sarah who have generally practiced safe-sex and have not been, or only rarely been, with "at-risk" populations have a much lower chance of having HIV.

[/ QUOTE ] The 0.3% was the assumption that I had no idea how to gauge. BUT, fwiw, if you have two people: 1. 180 sex acts with 1 low risk person 2. 20 sex acts, each with 20 different low risk persons The former is WAY more likely to get HIV.
