6 years without testing

6 years without testing

I am a gay male and it has been about 6 years since I have taken an HIV test. During this six years I have tried to be very careful about having protected sex. I have engaged in anal sex both top and bottom but I always insist on using a condom. After reading all the posts I did not realize to ask my partners HIV status but like I said I did insist on using a condom and the condom never broke. I have also engaged in receiving oral sex, I never gave oral sex, just not my thing. I was wondering what my risk level would be during these 6 years and do I need to be tested?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Risk level is zero. The Dr's on this site suggest testing for STD's and HIV yearly when sexually active with different partners. Which I believe is a good practice.

Thank you, I will get tested for STD's and HIV but my big concern was HIV. I really try to be as safe as possible and I really appreciate your help. So after 3 months I can be 100% sure that I am HIV - correct?

Yes, but the use of condoms wil prevent HIV and STD's as long as they don't break.
