surprise truth found about HIV!!

i found this in a reserach webiste forum about hiv

Q About 4 weeks ago I had unprotected sex with a man whom I just found out had HIV. He did cum inside of me. I have an appointment coming up very soon but I was just wondering if there is any chance that I WILL NOT get it. If so, do you know of a percent? Thanks so much.

There is a chance that you were not infected with HIV. Certain studies have examined the likelihood of infection during one episode of unprotected sexual intercourse with an HIV infected partner. People often find that the odds of infection per contact are lower than they thought: studies have suggested anywhere from a 1 in 500 chance to a 3 in 10,000 chance of transmission. Many studies show that the risk of transmission is greater from male to female than from female to male. Certain variables can increase the risk of transmission: the higher the viral load (amount of virus in a person's body, usually measured in blood), the greater the chance for transmission.

The bottom line is that there is no guarantee that you have been infected. However, since you have had a definite exposure to an HIV infected person, there are certain issues to be aware of until you find out your HIV status. If you engage in sexual contact, use condoms to prevent possible transmission to others and anxiety within yourself about infecting others. See a doctor experienced in working with HIV patients to see what your options are at this point and educate yourself about HIV treatment options. Also, be aware of your emotional state. Situations like yours can bring up a lot of difficult emotions that can be hard to handle on your own. Seek out the support networks to help you through this.

My understanding of Nancy Padian's study is a bit different (Padian N, Shiboski S, Vittinghoff E, Glass S. Heterosexual transmission of HIV: Results from a ten year study. Am J Epidemiol 146:350-357, 1997). In her 10 year study of serodiscordant heterosexual couples (82 infected men and their partners, 360 infected women and their partners), there was approximately a 9 per 10,000 contact risk of HIV transmission to a female (a .00009 risk, which could be rounded to about 1 infection per 1,000 contacts). Male to female transmission was eight times more likely than female to male. Most of the people in the study were white and used condoms with their partners regularly. History of sexually transmitted diseases was strongly associated to transmission.

Nancy Padian herself advises against generalizing the results of this study, which took place in California among mostly white participants, to ALL heterosexual sex in the world: "It's more likely that the epidemiology of a disease would differ in different locations than be the same -- just look at cancer and heart disease." (http://www.thebody.com/schoofs/proof.html).

There is increasing, reliable, scientific evidence that heterosexual men who are uncircumcised have a greater risk of being infected during insertive vaginal intercourse when compared to uncircumcised men. This is clear in many regions in Africa, where the rate of infection is much higher among uncircumcised heterosexual men. The interior of the foreskin is a mucous membrane that contains Langerhans cells, cells that are known to be vehicles for HIV's passage to the immune system. Circumcision is a much more common practice in the United States, which might account for the lower rate of transmission to heterosexual men.

That is not to say that heterosexual men in the United States are at the same risk as men in Africa. U.S. men seem to be at much less risk for infection than heterosexual women and men in other populations. The reasons why that is the case are still unclear. It does not mean that women cannot transmit HIV to their male partners, and that may be a dangerous assumption to make at this point.

So, the weather analogy, while clever, doesn't quite work for me. The abilities of HIV science to predict transmission are still way behind the reliability and accuracy of meteorlogy to predict the weather. And getting wet in the rain is not exactly the same as getting HIV.

There must be unprotected sexual intercourse, anal or vaginal, in an air-tight environment, for the HIV virus to be transmitted. The HIV virus can be transmitted via blood, semen, vaginal fluids or breast milk (from infected mother to child). However, the article seems to suggest that circumcision may be able to reduce the risks of infection, though no documented evidence to prove this yet…
