The chance of getting HIV

Dear Sir/Madam,

Some articles state that the probability of getting HIV is about 1/200 if a man had sex with a hiv woman without condom. Is this probabilty 1/200 true, and how this figure is calculated?  

Thanks a lot!

If you read those articles, the authors list the scientific an analytical methods they use in determining outcomes.

The simple fact is that if you never engage in unprotected, insertive anal or vaginal sex, you will not have to worry about HIV.
