You're kidding, right?

I remember reading some study somewhere that said the infection rate at substantially less than half "per act".

Well, based on this news though, that study must have been seriously messed up.

I think that study probably only covered normal sex. Double anal isnt in my definition of "normal sex".

No, HIV is not so contagious. The risk of contamination (as I know) is something like 60-70%. But no one will risk that.

The risk of contamination is much, much lower than that depending upon the type of sex that you undergo.

If you know beyond a doubt that your partner is positive, here are the odds:

Receptive anal sex is a 1 in 120 chance
Insertive anal sex is somewhere around 1 in 1500
Receptive Vaginal sex is somewhere around 1 in 5000ish
Insertive Vaginal sex is somewhere just above zero.


Keep in mind that these are per act figures, so if you plan on having sex more than once, it goes up. There is also evidence that people of Asian and African descent are far more susceptible to the disease than people of, say, Irish or German descent.

And this is all statistical work, so these odds are merely population-based, and don't account for individual circumstance.

I just saw the list of infected stars....TT Boy and Shawn Michaels sound familiar. Are they pseudo-celebrities? (You know, like Jenna Jameson or Ron Jeremy)?

Why is anal sex so popular in porn? I'm hoping in real life it isn't really that popular an activity. It just seems so unhygenic to me.

I wouldn't put them in the same category as those two, but they are fairly well known in the industry.

Also where did you see the list of names from?

Nevermind, found the list. Not a whole lot of big names, but quite a few regulars.

Dont worry, you'll never find out, unless you are on the receiving end, and then I dont think you'll be worrying about the hygenic aspects of it.

LMFAO! Ron Jeremy is on CNN Headline News talking about it right now;)

He's making Linda Stouffer blush the way he's talking about rubbers and "finishing" outside of body ;)

what do you mean by "receptive" and "insertive"? are you talking about insertive as the male risk and receptive as the female risk?

Don't forget that "receptive" can apply to the male as well
:confused:

Proof that some people do, in fact, need someone to draw them a picture.

Exactly. The closest anyone on ATOT is going to get to screwing a major porn star is screwing them over by downloading porn for free off a P2P network.

Not true I once went out/sexed up a "suicide girl" but this was in portland, OR and every damn girl there
with tats and piercing/dreads is one.

You may be confusing beloved pretty boy wrestler "Shawn" Michaels with potentially HIV infected porn employee "Sean" Michaels. I don't believe they're one in the same.

That's a probability (obviously). The probabilty of a coin toss result being tails is half. Ask yourself if the result can be tails on your first toss.
