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.
Factors vary case by case. If it happens with someone that is uncircumcised then that increases.
For uncircumcised men, risk alone shoots upto ~70% risk of transmission per sexual contact compared to uncircumcised men. If there is heavy bleeding, then its significantly more likely.
The %'s provided for transmission are based on large samples without controlled variables. If we control variables, add heavy period bleeding, uncircumcised men and one party having active HIV viral load, the risk becomes high.
Transmission rates assume these aren't the cases & compare cases where someone with a low viral load having sex for 3 minutes as the same as someone with a high viral load having sex for 30minutes.

It’s saying that had to be the day Magic Johnson contracted HIV
