Per act HIV infectiousness for anal intercourse, for the pre-HAART and HAART eras
Baggaley et al summary estimate is a combined estimate for the four studies shown above it (DeGruttola et al [9], Leynaert et al [10], Vittinghoff et al [5] and Halperin et al [11]). Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals except for DeGruttola et al [9] where they represent the authors' range of plausible infectiousness estimates. * No central estimate given. ** Vittinghoff et al insertive anal intercourse estimate is per act with a partner infected or of unknown serostatus (all other estimates represent HIV infectiousness per act with an infected partner).
