I want to have sex with this girl I just started dating without a condom, and pleasure her orally. I haven't done either of those things before, but I have a plan... However Mansons guide doesn't seem very helpful for me cause I think she'd be a virgin or pretty inexperienced.

The risk of aquiring HIV from sexual intercourse is actually super low. It's effectively a non-issue, particularly if you are having hetereosexual sex that's not regularly with a seropositive partner. Effectively, you're safe, even if you bang hookers like me :) It's good to get checked up, and you don't even need to give your real name: When I attended my cities sexual health clinic I used the anglicisation of my first name and only the first name of my last name, as my full name. They are happy for people to do this.

a key factor in the spread of the disease is the viral load. During the chronic infection stage, the load is low enough that it requires several contacts between two individuals over a short period of time for the infection to spread.

But what of the acute stage of the disease when the viral load is greater and the chances of infection much higher? Again Rocha and co say the disease cannot spread through the network, even if the infection rate is 100 per cent.

The reason is the time between sexual contacts. Rocha and co say there is an epidemic threshold in which the disease spreads if it is infectious for more than about a month. However, the acute stage of HIV appears to last for only for a couple of weeks. This just isn’t long enough to spread given the rate of contact that occurs in this network.

Fairly sure it's confounding by drug use with poverty, being a man who does anal, or high risk personality that explains sex workers having high rates of HIV, rather than their occupation.
