what are the chances

Hey there, pls help me out here, What are the chances a person can get infected if he has protected/safe(uses a condom throughout) sex with a person of unknown status, will he get HIV through protected sex??EVen though does not exchange any fluids??? I have also read that HIV is a fragile virus and cannot survive outside the body, the DR.s on these sites have also said that the chances of getting HIV in a single exposure is very low is this true?? PLs help me out here
Thank you

Rite!     You should believe Lizzie Lou.   You cannot be infected if you used a condom properly and it did not break.

You read the Dr.'s answers and got all of the correct information.  If you used an intact condom throughout, then there is no risk
