Does being the insertive partner in unprotected anal sex with an HIV + partner DEFINITELY mean that you will be infected. I hear all sorts of stats about this practice that sometimes downplay it and others that exaggerate it as being as dangerous as the receptor.
What do you folks think? If you had an (1) ONE incident where you were the unprotected insertive and your partner was +ve and you were doing anal sex for a about a minute, what would your chances be of getting infected?
Thanks

Many circumstances play into that...such as do you have any sores on your penis? Blood or semen has to enter your body through a cut or sore. You do not autmatically get infected with the virus by having sex with an HIV+ individual. The chance of acquiring the virus with an HIV+ individual, having risky behavior, is still small. Anal sex is highly risky, but with just one encounter unlikely. Although, all it takes is one encounter. Are you sure the person is HIV+ or is it an assumption? Learn to be careful and practice safer sex.

There are no definates when it comes to being infected. You could have unprotected anal sex once and become infected or 10 times and not be infected. I would agree it is a very high risk situation, but i would assume i was negative untill i took the test.

I am pretty sure that the other person was HIV+. I'm pretty sure that I had no sores at the time and that I did not contract an STD from him (have since tested -ve for STD,
but too eary for definitive HIV test) Our anal sex was also very brief (about 30 sec if not less) He did not tell me of his status until after the incident. I'm in such anxiety.

Have you had any noticiable symptoms?

No symptoms thus far and I'm 3 weeks since the incident.

Hi. From my understanding, the risk is magnified greatly if you are the receiving partner rather than the inserting partner. Anal sex is the highest risk activity, but the risk is more weighted towards the receptive partner.
I wish you all the best. Do not stress needlessly.
