A member asked:
I have been practicing safe sex. what are the risk to be infected with hiv from safe sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low: But how safe is safe? In truth, the safest way is abstinence and no kissing. Safe sex only works if it is practiced 100% of the time. There are varying definitions of what safe sex means. Condoms alone are about 85-95 percent effective. A good article is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_sex
