Re: HIV screening info

1. HIV

Assuming that she has HIV in the first place and currently not taking ARTs, your risk of catching it from insertive penile-vaginal sex (unprotected) ranges from about 1 in 1000 to 1 in 10,000 depending on which study you read.

Condoms, according to NIAID report, confers about a 86% protection against HIV.

Boss also correctly pointed out that there are a whole host of other variables. E.g. her viral load, presence of blood, presence of other infections etc

2. Other STDs

Yes there is a risk.
