Here's what I understand so far..
This isnt a typical question, as this is a discussion board, maybe we can have a discussion, but I read many of the Doctors posts here and also what is on the forum in general
HIV is more likely to be transmited from a man to a woman than a woman to a man? True?
HIV is not transferred by oral sex or frottage? True?
Co -infection with another std , esp herpes is more common that non co-infection?
Most people who come on here with real "risks" ie I am talking the ones who have had unprotected sex anal or vaginal (but not shared IV works, ive never seen anyone admit that one here), have they tested negative or positive?

There are literally thousands of threads in which the doctors say unprotected vaginal sex is a risk. He must have meant PROTECTED sex. Fingers don't always type what the mind intends them too.
I have just read this on the doctors forum : it is pretty much impossible to catch hiv through unprotected vaginal sex.
Is that a misprint or do we now have a medical consensus - from a expert in the field - that u/p hetero vaginal penetration
represents virtually none of the cases who test positive for hiv here or anywhere?
thats got to be reassuring for many people
as some people were aware of their partner being seropositive
as some people were aware of their partner being seropositive
99.9 percent of the people that post here didn't have a risk. The others that did tested negative.
well now...wouldnt it be ridiculous for us to "think" that we know if someone tested negative or positive WITHOUT them telling us.
so i would think it would be safe to ASSUME the poster is speaking of those who DID REPORT their status.
DUH

i think that most of the anxiety cases on here, with legitimate concerns, ie the ones who indulged in a risky act , do actually come back to say they tested negative
did all people who asked question came to tell u their final conclusive test ????
