Yes I agree on the moral question which is why I feel guilty already, but to be honest Terri, I can get the same advice from a priest. From you, I want science.
You seem to be saying that if I had unprotected sex 100 times a year (50 weeks x 2 sex acts), there is a 5% chance of transmission. So a single sex act would be 1/100 of 5% which is .05% which is 1 in 2000? That seems improbably low to me. Is my math correct?
You also didn’t address the question of whether the odds of transmission are affected by the length of time I have had the virus.
Thanks.
