transmission
Is it true that the HIV from vaginal fluid needs to enter the blood stream to infect the partner. i had a compresssive rupture of the condom with a sex worker and immediately washed my glans part , which was exposed after rupture.
This is becoming a nuisance in my life, off and on , i keep thinking , if i have contracted it!! and yup, the test, i don't have guts to go for a test as if i 'm diagnosed +ve, i will die of stress!!
but can you explain, what's the average number of exposures required for infection based on statistical data. i mean if a non-HIV person has sex with a HIV infected woman, what are the chances , that he gets the disease, i mean to say the probabilty!!
of course, i 'm going to hear that this is not odds game , but than also there are odds to anything and everything in the world , just want to know the odds!!

You should keep this stuff in your original thread. HIV enters through the mucous membranes, or directly into the blood stream via a cut/sore/lesion etc...
There's no "required" # of times. It could be your first time. But % chance wise is 1 in 2000 for unprotected regular penis inside vagina with an HIV + woman.

but by Q of method of transmission is not answered, is it vaginal fluid exposure to blood stream. i mean is there a possibility, if there are no scars on the skin, the infection is avoided
