Unprotected Receptive anal sex with a known seropositive partner, whether ejaculation has occurred or not, is 0.82%, which means that it woul occur only in less than 1 out of 100 such persons who indulge in this act. This is a fairly low risk. A study has been done on the risks associated with high risk behaviour, please check out these links:
