sex either vaginal or anal carries same risk for HIV... none of them carries smaller risk... same risk... either it is small or what it is still a RISK for HIV... Both vaginal sex or anal sex... the only safe sex is with CONDOM. Who ever said safe sex is NO sex... then you live your life with sex . SEX is a need. You can have sex. But always wear condom if you can't confirm your partner status. It is the first lines of defense.

You can't get HIV from someone who is HIV negative! You can get infected from HIV positive partner. Sometimes not every exposure will lead to HIV infection even though the partner is HIV positive. But will play that russian roulette? A risk is still a risk no matter it is small or big. No matter what, always wear condoms if you are not sure about your partner status NO EXCEPTIONS! Condoms can prevent HIV.

if you have unprotected sex(without condoms) it is a risk for HIV. If you wear condoms and the condom didn't fail(did not broke) then you will not be infected. If you have risk for HIV you should take antibody test at three month mark means 3 month after your risky behaviour. you also can take 6week mark and finally 3 month mark for HIV antibody test.

Only after 3 month negative is consider conclusive. Before 3 months it is not yet conclusive.
