Is HIV easy to transmit?

Hi, I want to ask general question about HIV transmission, does HIV easy to transmit? When HIV negative person having an unprotected sex contract (anal, Vagina, Oral) with HIV positive person, is it 100% sure that the HIV negative person will get infected?

Unprotected sex does require testing. 4th generation (antigen  + antibody) after 28 days from the date of exposure / 3rd generation(standard antibody test) 3 months post exposure. Chances are low to acquire infection, but testing is recommended. Thank you.

No, it's not a 100% guarantee that you would get infected if your partner is confirmed HIV+.

According to the CDC and leading HIV experts:
HIV+ female to male risk is approximately 1 in 2,000.
HIV+ male to female risk is estimated 1 in 1,000.

If you engaged in unprotected anal or vaginal sex with someone who is confirmed HIV+ then you do need to be tested because that was a risk. But as you can see the odds of a one time exposure leading to infection are not high so the odds are in your favor.

We’re in the same boat brother, just try to relax and calm your nerves... worrying won’t do you any good.... i had the same kind of exposure 3 weeks ago, I’m nervous too cos she tested positive. I did a test 2 days ago and it was negative. Just waiting for the 30 day mark to go get tested again.... tell me how your results go

There's no need for the OP of this thread to update.  His "risk" was oral sex, which isn't a risk, and if he tests, it will be pointless and negative.
