Question
Hello my name is Joe and i have a ? i was having sex with a stripper at a party and my condom rolled back about half way i didn't realize till i was finished what are the chances i was affected with HIV and should i be worried about this thank U this is really on my mind please help
Dear Joe:
Peace. HIV can be transmitted by vaginal secretions; if the woman with whom you were having sex with is infected, you would be at risk. I recommend you contact your local testing and counseling center for follow-up and peace of mind.
Sincerely,
Terry
