Caught by surprise

Where did you get those 'official estimates' ?

I don't want to get into a debate on statistics - but then that 1:100ish isn't right. I assume we're talking HIV, so that assumption is that 1:100 people have HIV (so it's a 1:100 chance you get the person affected with 100% chance of infection if you have sex with them).


Googling 'chances of getting HIV ... ' and look at the massive amount of guesses.

You don't want to get into a debate on statistics, yet you are prepared to confidently assert that the ones I cited are wrong, without even looking at them. If you had bothered to click on the link you would see that they come from the Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, which is a US government agency.

These estimates are not 'assumptions' or 'guesses'. I understand they are based on a representative sample of people's reported sexual and infection histories. Fyi, the risk of infection is the probability that the partner has HIV times the probability that the infection will be transmitted in a single encounter (which is not 100%). These estimates are unavoidably imprecise, but still likely to be a lot better than a single individual's uninformed opinion.

Thanks for explaining where your figures come from.
Out of interest, as the OP it would appear didn’t consent to B.B., should the escort be named as a warning to the rest of us to be on guard when with this escort?

Happened to me last year. Go get tested asap. Although me being in SA (deadly rate of HIV) only found out after like 6 mins of bare sex that she'd slipped it off. Anyways...got me PEP tabs you take for a month. I do not wish that stuff on anyone. Took it at night for a whole month. For the first week, after an hour you'd feel weird. High etc. By the 3rd week your cum is as clear as water...yuck.

Also the king(Grooby Steve) above said STD is more important....I agree...rather sort that out asap as that shit can hide and you spread to wife/gf...
