I browsed at the information on Wikipedia and I think that RedRum is pertaining to this chart:
Average per act risk of getting HIV
by exposure route to an infected source Exposure route Chance of infection
Blood transfusion 90%
Childbirth (to child) 25%
Needle-sharing injection drug use 0.67%
Percutaneous needle stick 0.30%
Receptive anal intercourse* 0.04–3.0%
Insertive anal intercourse* 0.03%
Receptive penile-vaginal intercourse* 0.05–0.30%
Insertive penile-vaginal intercourse* 0.01–0.38%
Receptive oral intercourse*§ 0–0.04%
Insertive oral intercourse*§ 0–0.005%
assuming no condom use
§ source refers to oral intercourse
performed on a man
What's the source? That chart is very similar to this:
