Per-contact risk of HIV transmission: * URA with a known seropositive partner: 0.82 percent * URA with a partner of unknown serostatus, 0.27 percent (95% CI: 0.06, 0.49 percent) * Unprotected insertive anal sex: 0.06 percent. * Receptive oral sex: 0.04 percent.

''"The overall, unadjusted probability of HIV-1 transmission per coital act is 0ยท0011 in this Ugandan population, and greater infectivity of predominant HIV-1 viral subtypes is unlikely to account for the explosive HIV-1 epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa. Transmission probability per act varies greatly with the HIV-1 viral load of the HIV-1-infected partner, which suggests that interventions to reduce viral load could reduce transmission.15,28 Younger age and genital ulceration also increased the probability of transmission per act."''
