What are the odds of trasnmitting hiv from a man to a woman?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends on a great many things; it depends on what the viral load of the man is, if he is on active treatment. It depends on the nature of the sexual contact, whether it is oral, vaginal, or anal. The more exposure with higher viral load to areas that may have lesions, or the presence of existing other stds that compromise mucosal integrity, increase transmission risk.
