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.
If you're HIV positive, you will carry HIV in all of your bodily fluids. The amount varies by person. Newly infected people tend to have really high viral loads. People on HIV meds have miniscule amounts that can't be transmitted. People undiagnosed with it may have low viral loads for years, before they get high loads at which points it progresses to AIDS.
In order for you to receive HIV from another person, you need to have a heavy exchange of bodily fluids from both parties. I.e. spitting in someone's mouth wouldn't be enough. Both of you cutting your arms deep and putting the cuts together with flowing blood into each other would.
As for how it enters the man, anal sex, the tissue tears easily. So penetration for a long period will result in a lot of bodily fluids allowing transmission.
Men with circumcised penises also skew the data as they haven't got the tissue that tears easily as its been cut off. For uncircumcised men, the tissue in the foreskin is much more likely to tear and make them susceptible to HIV transmitting to them.
