How much semen is needed to be transmitted to recieve AIDS?
Question:
Answers:
This is a complicated question that we cannot give a good, solid answer for . Some HIV-positive men have many "copies" of HIV in their semen; some have few "copies" of the virus. There are many factors which can affect this!
The question, however, is a very good one. No amount of semen, however small, should be considered "safe".
one tiny drop of semen can contain billions of viruses. If your "friend" had unprotected sex with someone with known HIV, he is at high risk..suggest he text for HIV every six months for the next two years, and tell him to use a condom.
HIV is a very tiny organism, so tiny that it can't be seen with a regular microscope, only through an electron microscope. It can pass through an undetectable hole in a condom, so you can get it even if no visible amount of semen is exchanged.
