Condom Slippage
by datewithemalways, Oct 27, 2007 10:49AM
Hello Doctor,
I have done the most stupid thing ever in my life this week is to have sex with a commercial sex worker in manila. Its been 2 days now..
After doing some oral with condom, she was on top of me for 3 minutes and while after I had finished and was taking out, I had noticed the condom still inside her.
I had cleaned my penis extensively after this encounter.
I haven't asked her if she is HIV positive as she was not able to understand english.I am very very much worried about the chances of catching HIV with this xperience. Could you help know what will be the chances of HIV for me if at all she is HIV positive?
I am very very anxious on this. Pls help me......

The risk of acquiring and STD or HIV after a single exposure, if the sex partner is infected, is low. For HIV, the risk is among the lowest for all STDs, less than 1 in 1000. There is no research on how much the protective benefit of using a condom declines if it slips off during intercourse. In your case, with or without a condom, the risk from oral sex is almost 0. For the vaginal sex, if she was infected (and statistically she probably was not), it is logical to think that the condom may have still offered some protection. Putting these facts together, the chance that you acquired HIV during this exposure are exceedingly low. Getting tested for HIV at this time is of little benefit. If you remain concerned, getting a blood test for HIV in 6-8 weeks. When that comes back negative as I feel sure it will, you can be completely confident you did not get HIV from this exposure. Hope this is helpful.

Thanks you very much...........
When you say, "The risk of acquiring and STD or HIV after a single exposure, if the sex partnet is infected, is low," are you referring to: (1) this person's exposure specifically, (2) a "single exposure in general, (3) just vaginal and oral sex, or (4) any type of sex includeing vaginal, oral, and anal both recpetive and insertive?
