My guess is it is more of a probabilistic thing than a strict threshold.

Yes. Super equals was inappropriate imo.

I don't know that it's inappropriate.

I mean, technically, there's always a possibility of getting HIV. Particles in your body could spontaneously quantum tunnel at the same time into the form of an HIV virus. This is basically impossible, but not actually (p = 0.00) impossible.

At some point you have to look at a probability and say - that's basically not transmissible.
