A member asked:
What are the chances of becoming infected with siv (simian) after possible contact on acne with plasma from a monkey with a low-undetectable viral load?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Life is full of uncertainties, and hypothetical situations often become total unknowns. Phrases like "what are the chances", "possible contact", and "low-undetectable" usually mean "don't worry about stuff like that" when dealing with viruses that do not cross species easily. Nobody can guess what the chances are under such rare circumstances, as there are no studies to find out such answers.
