How likely is it for a person to contract STDs (HIV, HPV, gonorrhoea, syphilis, chlamydia etc.) as a result of unprotected sex?

The risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection (STI) from unprotected sex depends on a few factors. If the sexual partner has had multiple sexual partners and or is high-risk partner eg. commercial sex worker, the risk of contracting an STI will be significantly higher. If you have multiple partners and engage in unprotected sex, the risk will be very much higher too. If you or your partner is having an active infection or having blisters, sores and ulcers at the genital area, the risk of contracting an STI is also increased.

Have there been cases where people have contracted HIV after taking HIV tests in clinics despite the safety measures?

I am personally not aware of any such cases in Singapore. HIV testing is done by a blood test or oral swabs. New sterile single use needles and swabs are used for the blood test and oral swabs so there is no risk of catching of HIV by doing the screening test.
