Does anyone know what the actual possibility or probability of having AIDS transmitted to you by having protected sex is? On the worse case scenario, is there a real possibility of this happening?

No method of contraception is 100% effective against pregnancy or the spread of disease. I do not know what the percentages are, but you are definitely safer if you are practicing safe sex then if not. In the case of disease when I refer to contraceptives I mean condoms.

Absolutely don't kid yourself. In high risk populations such as drug users, especially IV drug users, and those who have multiple partners and don't use protection or use it randomly the odds are much higher. Many times you really don't know who falls in what category, thus, treat every encounter as a possible transmittal. Always error on the side of safety. A few nuns I read about in the journals got it from early blood transfusions. Don't take chances.

Its more difficult for a man to get it than a woman...(when its hetero sex).
It is one of the harder diseases to catch and once exposed to the air the disease dies. Unfortunately though with sex there's isn't much air where it would count!
There are many couples with one partner living with AIDS, I know a couple and they have healthy sex lives.
I would think that you would be very protected using contraception but if you are considering doing so I would contact your GP for professional advice.

you realize if this individual is contaminated your threat is major, so no favor to stay on that. If that's been lower than seventy 2 hours because this incident, you probable qualify for PEP. that is anti-hiv drugs that would want to correctly be used to maintain away from an infection if uncovered. it might want to be began once accessible and no later than seventy 2 hours after publicity. Your widely used care health practitioner should be in a position to assist, or the nearest emergency room. If this isn't an option you would possibly want to pursue, you would possibly want to correctly be examined in 6-8 weeks after this episode and if adverse, might want to be an remarkable indication of your status as maximum folk may have detectable antibodies 4-6 weeks after an infection.

The only way to get AIDs through protected sex is if the condom breaks or your partner has already ejaculated before you use protection. Another way is through saliva, allow you may be protected in one way, AIDS can be spread in many other ways, such as oral sex.

A condom will protect you if it is put on properly and it doesn't leak. Some brands have been shown to fail up to 30% of the time. Not very good odds when your life is at stake.
