It is true that an hiv infection will not be contracted easily. However it's not how statistics should be interpreted. First of all the probability for different types of exposures are different. In the case of insertive PV intercourse, which is the case with most of us, the probability is 0. 04. That is one in 2500. But it still doesn't mean that you can have unprotected sex 2500 times before you catch infection. It simply means, statisticaly, when you have 2500 intercourses unprotected, it becomes more likely than not to catch an infection. So you can have one encounter and still catch hiv, technically. Also this number makes no assumption about the partner's viral load status. That means, if the said partner is already infected, this probability is much higher. Also the risk is higher if you have multiple partners or your partner had multiple partners. Numbers are from CDC publications.
So if you had an exposure, meet a medical practitioner and take advise. Stay safe bro.
[QUOTE=Hank75;2921781]Condom breakage happens around 15% of the time. So, it is relatively common.
You can relax about getting HIV since there is 1 in 15,000-20,000 chance of getting it.
That means you can have unprotected vaginal sex with a HIV-positive individual 15,000 times.
Before you get the virus. HIV is not transmitted by oral sex. HIV is a very inefficient virus.
And is spread more commonly through unprotected anal sex.
Herpes is a skin disease and is not a STD, 50% of the world population has this.
The real risk is bacterial infections. Wait for 3 days and see if there are any symptoms.
Like pain while urinating etc. If there are any symptoms, buy a urine self-test in amazon.
This would show if there any infection.
In case of any infection, pop 2 g of Azithromycin single dose.
Now wait for a week and the symptoms should resolve. Consult a doctor only if the symptoms.
Don't resolve 10 days after the antibiotic.
Stop stressing and get on with your regular life. Stick to HJs or protected sex over the next 10 days.[/QUOTE]
