Depends: It depends on: 1. Sexual act 2. Viral load of the woman. 3. Presence of a lesion on the man. Starting off at 1:100 chance for insertive vaginal sex , the probability increases if 1. Practicing vigorous sex (results in mucosal tear) 2. If the woman has a high(instead of an undetectable) viral load, 3. If the man has an open lesion (e.g. Herpes ulceration) on the penis.
