Hiv test.......................?


. In general, the risk of female-to-male transmission is low, although this varies according to where the studies have been done. Two large studies in California and Europe found a per-contact risk (meaning the risk of a man becoming infected from each instance of penile-vaginal sex) of 0.0001 (1 in 10,000) and 0.0003 (1 in 3,000). Three studies done in Thailand and Kenya show a higher risk of female-to-male transmission, between 0.001 (1 in 1000) and 0.16 (16 per 100). The men in these studies had either recently had sex with a female sex-worker, or were regular clients of female sex workers, either of which situations may have increased their risk of becoming infected. is it correct ?

Sounds more like the statistics for oral transmision of men performing cunnilingus...
To answer your question, always wear protection :p

As far as I am concerned any amount of risk is 2 high. If you are concerned that you were possibly in contact with the virus GET TESTED!

I'm sure the transmission rate will be far higher than those statistics you're quoting. If it was as difficult to catch as that then there wouldn't be an almost 50% infection rate in sub-Saharan Africa.

Many factors influnce your chances of catching HIV. Viral load of the carrier, other complicating infections etc. etc. You have situations where a person can have regular intercourse with a carrier and never become infected - the case of Paul Michael Glaser is an example of this. His wife had HIV for many years before being diagnosed and during that time she became pregnant with their son who contracted HIV from her. Glaser himself never became infected. At the opposite end of the scale you have many people who become infected after one sexual encounter with an infected person.

Basically, sex spreads HIV so always use preotection. Never gamble with your life.

ya it is correct

I would disagree,
A lot of data is collected by surveillance which is the ongoing, systematic collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of data regarding a health-related event. HIV/AIDS surveillance observes records and disseminates reports about new cases of HIV and AIDS. Tracking HIV trends is challenging and depends on several factors, such as how often people are tested, when during the course of their infection they are tested, whether and how test results are reported to health departments, and how case reports (with personal identifiers removed) are shared with CDC.
