Chances of hiv transmission per act

I found a chart on wikipedia, which is not always the best source of information, that shows the chance of hiv transmission per risky act.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV#Transmission
For everyone's benefit and out of my own curiosity, I would like to ask what experts on this forum think of this chart and how accurate it is.

Please post comments/questions on the HIV community forum.

We usally like to answer direct questions about an exposure; it also helps us to know your potential exposure, e.g  unprotected/protected  and vaginal/anal/oral sex.

I personally see the chart as consistant with what Dr. HHH and Dr. Hook say on odds of transmission.   Ask them, they are the true experts.
