A member asked:

How likely would it be to catch aids from a south african woman in 2012?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Joel Gallant answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

Depends: That depends on what you did with her. If she were hiv-positive, there would be a risk of transmission if you had sex without condoms. Being uncircumcised increases the risk.
