Can you please help what are my chances of contracting hiv?

Depends: Your chances of contracting HIV depends on the risk behavior. Receiving an infected blood transfusion with HIV is likely the highest risk. Unprotected sex can also be risky with unprotected anal sex being higher risk than unprotected vaginal sex, which is higher risk than oral sex. If you use barrier protection with a condom when having sex, you can lower the risk of HIV significantly close to 0.
