What Are Your Chances Of Contracting Aids In America?

Your chances are as good or bad as you make them.  Someone who practices safe sex (using barriers, not just chemical birth control) has a much, much lower change of contracting HIV/AIDS than someone who does not use preventatives.  Someone who practices complete sexual abstinence (meaning no vaginal, oral, or anal sex) is pretty much safe barring accidents involving blood or other body fluids.  If you're willing to go without sex and if you're careful not to come in contact with blood or body fluids, then you are probably not going to get AIDS.  If you have unprotected sex with unfamiliar partners on a regular basis, you share invasive drug paraphernalia like needles, and/or you come into frequent contact with body fluids, then your chances are much higher of contracting HIV/AIDS.
