HIV transmission
what would be the chances of contracting hiv for a male with one exposure of unprotected vaginal sex for about 20 seconds
well the statistics helped me relax and i think statistics should be allowed to be discussed. i tested negative today after one month. im gonna get tested again in 2 months but i really dont think i got much to worry about
Hey everyone -
Yes, stats can be discussed here, but many of our members prefer not to as stats only tell a part of it, and if someone is the 1 in 10000 or whatever number you like, those odds won't mean much.
The only way you'll know for sure, whether or not your chances are low, is to test at the appropriate time frame.

I dont think there is any difference if we pass on the same information that doctors are providing. Now if I made up some information, that would be wrong. But I didnt made up a single thing.
Your not a doctor nor are you an expert. If you want to give odds and statistics then take to the expert forum.
Wrong. Statistics are given by doctors in other MEDHELP forums, and therefore it should be applied here too.
Whats the difference Teak? I didnt make up those numbers. Those numbers came directly from Doctors. Whats wrong in telling people what Doctors think?
