Can HIV be transmitted....?


Question:
If 2 people have sex (boy and girl) and the boy doesn't ejaculate inside the vagina, can i still get hiv? I know hiv can be transmitted by preseminal fluids... but, what are the chances?????

Answers:
I don't see any reason why the HIV concentration in pre-ejaculate should be any lower than in semen. However ejaculation produces a much higher volume, so the actual viral load delivered is higher. Estimates for probability of contracting HIV per penis-vagina full sex act range from as remote as 1 in 750 to as high as 1 in 20. So actually, the chance of picking up HIV from one unwitting episode isn't actually that high, and less if the boy doesn't ejaculate into the vagina. Of course, it's devastating if you happen to be unlucky. Chances are you or the person you're asking for is ok, but be careful out there.
HIV transmitted through body fluids & secretions.
