Dear Dr,
want to thank you for answering a prior question of mine, and promise you this is the last time I will bother you with my questions. I didn't want to bother you with this but couldn't find anything in the archives regarding this situation. Am actually going for my physical on thursday and hopefully all will be well. It seems from your answer to my prior posting, you said my risk for any std was low since i always use condoms, and the only non-condom relation i had was with my ex-gf who was a virgin before me, and that was after a few months of condom sex. Also no drugs, am hetero, and no CSW (ever). Out of all my sexual relations, I had sex with 2 women during their period. The 1st episode was 4 yrs ago with a woman i dated for 1.5 months, and we had sex once or twice when she had her period, of course i used condoms, though as expected there was blood on the condom and a little got on my shaft as i took the condom off. I was worried back then, but asked around and people said not to worry. 2nd time, was last yr, i had broken up with my ex, the one who was a virgin before me, and we met 1yr after the fact. she told me she had been with 2 guys since me. i used condoms this time, but she had her period.we had sex 7-8 times in a span of 15 hrs, and that was that. again there was blood on the condom and i think on the shaft since ther was about 1 inch of uncovered skin twds the bottom of my shaft, not covered by the condom. i know it sounds silly, but i would like to get all the facts from an expert such as yourself before going for my physical. In your opinion, based on the 2 experience i mention, are there any hiv risks.
many thanks, and God bless you for the great work you do, providing us with scientific facts while adding a much needed personal touch.
thanks DR. H.
