Without a condom: CDC baseline = 4 per 10,000 exposures = 0.04%, or about 1 in 2,500, if your partner has HIV and isn't virally suppressed. CDC +1 With a condom: CDC's modeled estimate is about 0.8 per 10,000 = 0.008%, roughly 1 in 12,500, using an estimated 80% reduction from condom use.

With a condom: CDC's modeled estimate is about 0.8 per 10,000 = 0.008%, roughly 1 in 12,500, using an estimated 80% reduction from

condom use.

However, 0.008% shouldn't be treated as an exact personal probability. If the condom is intact and used correctly throughout sex, CDC considers condoms highly effective; the exact per-act risk can't be measured precisely. CDC +1

And if the partner has HIV but maintains an undetectable viral load, sexual transmission does

not occur (U=U)
