Odds of getting HIV through unprotected sex?

[CostaRicaBill]

I have some friends who rarely ever use condoms and claim that it's nearly impossible for a man to contract HIV through vaginal intercourse. They say that women are much more likely to get it from a man, but men are not really at risk unless they have anal sex or share needles.

I know it's the doctor's duty to give the scary speach about all the diseases you can get through unprotected sex, but is the risk of getting HIV really that high? Does anyone actually know someone who has contracted HIV through normal heterosexual intercourse?

I know that it is harder for men to get HIV than women through sex, but it is by no means impossible.

It's certainly harder for men to contract HIV, but you can still contract it through microscopic cuts on your penis. Tell your friends to wrap it up.

Are you asking how many women out there have HIV? If so, a simple google search can prolly answer that.

OR, are you asking what the chances of getting HIV are if you have unprotected sex w/ a women that has HIV? If you weren't asking this question for your friends, I would suggest you cut your penis off asap.

I heard Dr. Drew say that HIV is primarily a homosexual disease in the United States, and is extremely difficult to contract. However, Africa's strand is easier to contract through vaginal intercourse.

I'm going to have to answer your question with another question: What the fvck does it matter?

There are plenty of reasons to use a condom anyway, i.e. herpes, gonorrhea, chlamidya, HPV, syphilis, hepatitis, and oh yeah, pregnancy.

[CostaRicaBill]

Yes, my question was that if the woman actually has HIV, what would be the chances of getting it through unprotected vaginal sex with her? I heard that during anal sex you are much more likely to get it through tiny cuts in your penis due to the rough surface.

That's interesting about the African strain being easier to contract sexually. I was wondering how it spread so quickly there being that intrevenous drug use probably isn't that widespread.
