What is the probability of getting AIDS in one high risk?

The probability of getting AIDS in a single high-risk episode cannot be generalized; the probability of risk depends on whether the other person is infected, the level of viral load, the manner in which the high-risk behavior was carried out, and its duration.

There are high-risk sexual behavior there is the probability of infection of human acquired immunodeficiency virus, the general window period of AIDS for about 2 to 6 weeks, you can go to the medical institution to do the human acquired immunodeficiency virus antibody test after 6 weeks of high-risk sexual behavior to rule out the case of AIDS infection, if the two tests are negative it proves that there is no infection, and then do not have to worry about it too much. It is recommended that in the future sexual life, must do a good job of measures, do not have unclean sex, to prevent the infection of sexually transmitted diseases. A high-risk male sex organs should be intact, if vaginal intercourse, due to the vagina natural lubrication effect is large, friction caused by the possibility of wounds is extremely small. So the likelihood of infection is very small, regardless of whether the other person is a Human Acquired Immunodeficiency Virus carrier or not. With heterosexual sex, the probability of a man infecting a woman is usually about 1 in 100, and the probability of a woman infecting a man is about 1 in 1,000. In contrast, men who have sex with men are at the highest risk, with the probability of infection ranging from one in one hundred to one in ten for the receiving party and about one in one hundred for the active party. The probability of infection is significantly increased if both partners have broken skin and mucous membranes or have condyloma acuminatum or genital herpes.
