If you’re in a heterosexual monogamous relationship, there’s absolutely ZERO need for an HIV test. This is a disgusting ploy by our government and the media.

That being said it is even very difficult to get HIV by most forms of sex. Drug needles and anal sex is about it-blood contamination. Even infection rate by oral sex, semen contact is only .04%

I didn’t want to quote anything out of my sphere of knowledge. I knew the contraction rate was low for normal, heterosexual sex.

Good points. And it is notable that no healthy (no open sores or lesions) male has EVER been medically documented to have been infected by sexual contact with a woman.

EVER.

Healthy women have to have UNprotected sex with an infected man 500-1000 times before the odds are that they will be infected (see the Padian Berkeley study). (And it doesn’t matter if she has sex with 500 different infected men, or is monogamous to one infected man - monogamy is a red herring).

The responsible medical advice would simply be to make women very afraid of unprotected anal sex. That’s it for heterosexual transmission.
