How likely is someone to get hiv from contact for a short while?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends on what kind of contact was happening for a short while. Unprotected anal sex between two men is high risk. Vaginal sex is lower risk, and oral sex is even lower risk. Perhaps more detail will help you get a more helpful answer.
