What is the percentage of getting hiv/aids with a male condom and without a male condom for both heterosexual and homosexuals? for both vaginal and anal? do i just trust the cdc percentages? is it true that there are no percentages for condoms?

Specializes in Infectious Disease

HIV transmission: CDC estimates for HIV risk for single episodes of sex with an infected partner, highest around 1 in 100 for the anal partner in receptive sex with an infected male, lowest 1 in 20,000 for oral to penis. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24809629 The estimates are very rough, higher or lower in various situations. Zero if infected person on effective anti-HIV treatment. No condom data.
