Transmission

Is it safe to conclude that people who claim that they got hiv and had nothing but protected sex is either lieing or forgot about unprotected sex they had?  Or is there a chance they were just extremely unlikely and didn't notice that their condom failed or had a unusual transmission of some sort.

There's no "magical" cure, but there's absolutely treatment and management of anxiety.  I'd encourage you to get some help for it.

Or if your sitting at home worrying about this, then maybe you should seek help for HIV ocd but, protected sex is never a risk of HIV, its not a debatable point, its a scientific fact mat.

I meant that there's always a very remote possibility that it can be transmitted through unusual means, which for hiv I believe is anything other than unprotected sex.  Yes, the chances are very remote but it can still happen in the same way that being struck by lightning is an almost zero risk but it still occassional happens to 1 unlucky person out of the billions of people on this planet.

No, because its not possible. Accidents are by the very nature of terminology and accident. Facts and science deem something definite.

But there must be some true cases of freak transmissions in the same way that there are freak accidents.
