AIDS ODDS

This is something we found in "Prevention Magazine."

These are the odds (according to them)

SEX SAFETY: THE TRUE RISKS OF GETTING AIDS

Risk of acquiring AIDS from one course of penis-vagina intercourse with someone:

with condom
without condom

Of unknown AIDS status who isn't in a high risk group:
1 in 50 million
1 in 5 million

Of unknown AIDS status who is in a high risk group:
1 in 100,000 to
1 in 10,000*
1 in 10,000 to
1 in 1,000*

Of unknown AIDS status who has tested negative for AIDS but continues to engage in high-risk behavior (needle sharing or sexual intercourse with a member of a high risk group:
1 in 500,000
1 in 50,000

Of unknown AIDS status who has tested positive for AIDS:
1 in 5,000
1 in 500

	with condom	without condom
Of unknown AIDS status who isn't in a high risk group:	1 in 50 million	1 in 5 million
Of unknown AIDS status who is in a high risk group:	1 in 100,000 to 1 in 10,000*	1 in 10,000 to 1 in 1,000*
Of unknown AIDS status who has tested negative for AIDS but continues to engage in high-risk behavior (needle sharing or sexual intercourse with a member of a high risk group:	1 in 500,000	1 in 50,000
Of unknown AIDS status who has tested positive for AIDS:	1 in 5,000	1 in 500

With one exception-anal intercourse-other kinds of sexual activities carry much less risk. The above odds worsen with repeated heterosexual intercourse. After 500 times with someone who tests positive and doesn't use a condom, for example, the chance of being infected is two in three.

* These odds vary because of differing rates of infection among high-risk groups.
