A member asked:
Can you tell if it is really that easy to contract hiv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is not: In the old days when there was no treatment, husbands and wives not practicing barrier-protected sex still only infected one another 25% or so of the time. Passive anal intercourse with an infected partner is the most dangerous practice, with around a 1% chance per act. Genial ulcers / tears make for higher risk.
