A member asked:

Does having protected sex put you at any risk for hiv? what are the probability of men getting infected from women? thanks for the help.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

YES: Unprotected sexual intercourse is the major cause of STDs and AID. It is easy to prevent: buy lots of condoms and spermicidal gel. This is a dangerous, risky behavior. 50/50 heterosexual transmission.
