It seems to be the case, judging by the tone of some of the answers, that people think I'm trying to justify unpretected sex. This is not the case.

There's an outside, but not impossible chance of getting HIV if you have sex with an infected partner.

The infection rate for male insertive vaginal sex is 1 in 2000, or approximately 2/3rds of the odds of getting 4 of a kind in a poker hand.

It's an international site. They don't use commas to separate numbers, they use decimals.

The reason why is because most infectious agents need to have something called a "viral load" to infect somebody. If there aren't enough viruses, the immune system would kill the virii. However, once there's a large enough load, it will overwhelm the immune system and that's how you get an infection. HIV is a very weak virus in the sense that it takes lots of virii to infect somebody and it dies quickly without a new host.

To put it in perspective the flu has a very low viral load that causes infection. The flu is VERY easy to catch because of that.

As for the idiot that keeps on saying that HIV doesn't cause AIDS, there has been much proof that it does.

HIV fits Koch's postulates.

Here are some examples.

Don't bring your flat earth theories on this site, please.

And anyways, with the advent of microbiology, Koch's postulates have become irrelevant and obsolete.

Postulate 3 has already been recreated in green monkeys and postulate 4 is highly unethical because it's such a dangerous disease.

It has however, been cultured in the cells it infects, and there is ample photographic evidence of HIV attacking a leukocyte.

If he has sex with an infected partner (female) the chances are less than with a male partner. Or if he is sharing intrervenous equipment with an infected person. You need to use protection.

Unfortunately there are significant risks of getting HIV heterosexually. Though much less than Hepatitis C, syphilis gonorrhoea are all easier to catch. Unsafe sex, and sex with multiple partners is unsafe sex with multiple partners, whatever their gender.

did you have a health class in highschool? Have you visited your Doctor? Ever pick up one of those little pamphlets on HIV...
you should go to your local health department and talk to them and get a test too, seeing how you are clueless on all this... You shouldnt be sexually active either. Untill you understand what a huge responsibility you have to yourself and to everyone you have sex with and to all the people they have sex with... keep it in your pants dude...

its actually easier for woman to become infected by men that man to women infection. this is due to the risk of tiny tears in the vaginal wall which can occur during intercourse, this broken skin makes women more vulnerable to infection.
that said- the risk to men of catching any STI is still significant.

It's not very difficult at all-very easy infact.Straight men are the main 'culprits' of the spread of it these days!But because so many of them have this whole 'it's a gay disease' or 'well I won't get it!' attitude then many of them are undiagnosed and that's how it's spreading amongst them.

It's very easy! Heterosexual people are really good at spreading the virus by not listening to sound advice.....wear the glove!!!!!

not difficult at all, as it is more than likely that the disease is more common in straight people, than gay people or even junkies.
