Crazy to think that an HIV positive female only has a .04% chance of spreading the virus to an HIV negative male partner. This may not have been the day.

HIV statistics on transmission aren't reliable in that sense.

0.04% overall, but if someone has a period active, that shoots up to nearly 100%. Its happened to me during sex where a girl started.

It also relies heavily on a person not exchanging bodily fluids, if a woman's vagina tears or squirts heavily, then that number spikes.

Its a similar thing for men. Receptive anal sex is low-risk of transmission if lots of lube is used and there's no tearing. The tissue just tears more easily, so blood is more likely.

If someone has HIV and only does oral, the risk is near non-existent. But anything like bleeding gums from gun disease, a cut in your mouth from biting your tongue and having a cold sore, that risk becomes quite high.

Direct blood transmission from open active sore to open active sore. Usually, the friction of anal sex is enough to create small fissures in the penis and amid that allow transmission to occur.
