A member asked:
What is the amount of blood or body fluid causing hiv infection and how many copies of hiv needed to transmit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are no exact data on these issues. HIV risk depends less on the amount of virus present than on the type of exposure. The important thing is to avoid infected partners and to use condoms for vaginal or anal sex except in mutually monogamous relationships.
