Knowing now today that the transmission rate of HIV through vaginal intercourse is low, do you think ol' boy got HIV at the end?
shareChances are very low Casper got HIV after raping Jennie. As you mentioned, transmission through vaginal intercourse is low. That being said, I am sure Casper s--t his pants when he heard Jennie was HIV positive and he waited for his test results.
shareHe got HIV. That was the message being sent. It was filmed in what, 93 or 94, released in 95. Back then the knowledge wasn't the same as it is today. There wasn't any questions to be asked. Obviously today, things would be different but that isn't the case. Jenny, Telly, the Virgins and Casper all have HIV.
shareChances are slim Casper got HIV when he raped Jennie. The OP point is if that happened in real life what were the chances, the answer is very slim. One of the great lies told to Generation X was that we were all at risk of getting HIV/AIDS. There has never been a heterosexual outbreak. The vast majority of the cases are related to anal sex and sharing needles. Telly most likely got HIV from 1) shooting heroin 2) anal sex with a man or 3) anal sex with a woman who had been exposed though sharing needles or through anal sex with a man who is bi/gay.
shareRight... But in the FILM, he got HIV. That's the whole point of the ending
