According to the chart on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hiv which I believe was published by the CDC, risk on getting HIV from a positive individual is often 1 in a thousand or less, and some doctors think it's close to 1 in 10,000 risk of getting it from a positive person.
If it's so hard to catch, why is it so prevalent in the world and espcially in Africa, where in some areas, at least 1 out of 4 people are positive.
The CDC's numbers don't seem to jive with what's happening. Can anyone tell me when that set of statistics were published? Mutations might account for an increase in how contagious it is.
