Question
I recently had comdom protected anal sex with a man and later
spot there is a wet score on his hip and another dry score on his
forehead and redish dry skin on one cheek.  I am very nervous
about whether he is HIV+.  I did give and reveive oral sex and
he
came on my body . We also had kissed and he rubbed his
unprotected penis on my buttlock.  Am I at risk to getting HIV?
How to spot a possible HIV+/AIDS patient?  Thank you.

Answer
If you are continuing to see this person, I would suggest asking him what his HIV status is-that way you will know. If the condom did not break, then there's no way to be infected that way. HIV has to enter the body for a person to become infected. If you gave him unprotected oral sex then that is one way HIV can enter the body. I would talk to him first, if you feel comfortable, and then you can seek an HIV test to know for sure.
