I was considering the penetration category statistics alone, which was at least once in their life for 18.3% of all women in the country: https://www.nsvrc.org/

Since one time is all it takes to get HIV, that's 18.3% of the female population that are vulnerable to infection from an attacker at some point in their life. Best to get vaccinated and not take that risk.

- floatingatoll 6y agoUnwanted sex occurs so frequently in the US that, as I said above, "sexually active" essentially includes all women and all prisoners, in the context of this conversation about which populations should receive this vaccine. This is not the place to litigate over statistics provided by NSVRC. This is not the place to debate whether the women were intoxicated or not. This is not the place to debate whether all rape is truly rape or is not. Whether you label it rape or label it unwanted sex or label it unplanned intoxicated sex is irrelevant.
