Pos Hiv im worries sick

[para615]

Dear Doc

any help would be appreciated.

I had sex with a sex worker approx 2 months ago. Im worried about HIV cos of the following

1.I fingered her and then may have touched my penis whilst getting in the shower - so fluid transmission
2.She gave me oral and then came on top of me for about 2 mins using same condom i didnt see a break, but would a break be obvious, also because she gave me oral with the same condom does that mean it could have torn or tore a little and transmission take place through this.
3.I continued having sex for 1 minute while she was on top after i had ejaculated but condom did not slip off, would a break be obvious.
4. i havent slept with my wife out of guilt but also in case i pass it on for  2 months and am worried about doing so

any advice please and thank you

regards

It was a duo test, for both HIV antigen and antibody.  It proves you did not catch HIV.  No more testing is necessary.

NHS Sample Serolgy

It seems to me these questions are irrelevant.  The condom didn't break.  A ruptured condom doesn't just develop a small hole; typically it bursts wide open and cannot be missed.  Therefore, what increases or decreases risk of breakage doesn't matter, does it?

But to my knowledge, there is no reason to suppose the things you mention would significantly increase the chance of rupture.

That will be my last comment unless you want to report the result of the HIV test you obviously need to have to settle your concerns.  Visit your local NHS GUM clinic for world class expert care and advice.

Doc,

appreciate that, bu i may not have raised my question properly( iam uk based)

Does ejaculation increase condom breakage if you continue sex while not erect
does using a condom fo 2 activities increase risk of breakage
Regarding small tears can vaginal fluid get through

These are the answers i was tryin to get too, jus so i can sleep at night

Welcome to the HIV forum.  These identical questions have been answered hundreds of times so my replies will be brief.  Scan the forum, or use the search link, to find other discussions with more detail.

HIV remains uncommon in commercial sex workers in the US and other industrialized countries (probable average chance 1 in a thousand she had HIV).  And it doesn't much matter if she was infected anyway, since you had entirely safe sex.

1) HIV is not transmitted by fingering or hand-genital contact.

2) Condom protected = no risk to speak of.  Using the same condom for oral and vaginal doesn't increase the risk.

3) Broken condoms are very obvious; you would have known.

4) If I were in your situation, knowing what I know, I would never have stopped having unprotected sex with my wfie.

But why are you asking questions like this or searching online for answers?  The obvious and only way to know whether or not you have HIV is immediately available:  have an HIV test.  Two months is enough time for a reliable result.  You can expect it to be negative.

Feel free to return to report your HIV test result when you have it.  Until then I will have no other comments or advice.
