| Response from Mr. Kull
 The recent figures on per contact risk are based on a study conducted in Uganda of 174 serodiscordant (mixed HIV status) couples. The risk for infection per episode of vaginal intercourse was 1.7 per thousand, or about 1 in 500. The study measures the risk of infection per act of penile-vaginal intercourse WITHOUT condoms. For more information about this research study, please vistit The Body's conference coverage at http://thebody.com/confs/retro2001/pavia10.html. RMK | ||
