Question
Hi,
I have had protected sex with a lady 2 weeks back. I just came to know that she sleeps with the every third guy she meets on weekends.
We exchanged passionate kiss. As far as I have understood, chances of getting HIV from this is very minimal.
We had intercourse 2 times with condom. She was smelling quite bad and she said she was on period. We slept together
Next day morning she gave me a blow job with hand.
Now I am really scared whether I will get HIV, Should I do HIV test??
Please help me
Dear Gaijin:
Peace. I am glad you used a condom to reduce your risk - the possible exposure to blood (period) and vaginal secretions outside the edges of the condom places you at some minimal risk of transmission not only of HIV but other sexually transmitted diseases. I would recommend that you be tested for a full Sexually Transmitted Infection panel. I don't think the chances of HIV infection are significantly high, but test results (tell your counselor your potential exposure was two weeks ago) - even if you wait another four weeks to have the HIV test repeated, will alleviate your concern.
Best to you and yours,
Terry
