Question
Hi, Thanx for your time.
I just did a very stupid thing, I was drunk and didn't realise.
I live in antwerp, belgium, europe.
i just had sex with a a shemale prostitute,
she performed a blow job without a condom.
after that I have been in her anus for about 4-5 times,
then I realised that I wasen't wearing a condom,
so I just stopped an got my penis out.
I am very worried that I may have got HIV.
Please help me to understand what risk I had.
I would be really thankful to you.
Bye

Answer
Hi

Thanks for the question. Well, unprotected sex (and oral sex) does carry a risk of catching HIV, though the risk is higher for the passive person (receiver). So, the shemale would be more at risk of catching HIV from you.

But of course, there is still a small risk - it may be worth considering a test, but on balance its unlikely that you've been infected.

Hope this helps, and feel free to send a follow up. Here is a useful website with more information:

Best wishes

Ian
