Can HIV Be Contracted Through Single Unprotected Intercourse With An HIV-positive Person?

default
Posted on Tue, 21 Jun 2016
Question: I had sex with a woman (first time with her) last night. I was not fully erect, so our vaginal sex lasted about two minutes. When I pulled out, I noticed the condom had come off. It apparently had come off while inside her, since she had to fish it out. She was meticulous about making sure I wore a condom, insists she is disease free, and has offered to take a blood test. What should my HIV concern be?

Welcome to health care magic. I have gone through the details.

The chances of transmission of HIV by single unprotected intercourse with a HIV positive person is 1/200 to 1/1000.It is very low. The chances with Condom failure is further low.
If she is negative there is no chance.
You can get her tested for HIV to allay fears.
