Deep Kissing/ Protected Vaginal Sex

Hello,

I am very careful during sex. I was diagnosed with genital Herpes10 yrs ago. I've had no out breaks in 7yrs. A little over a year ago, I engaged in protected vaginal sex using a Trojan condom with a woman who discovered afterwards she was hiv positive. The sex was very brief (2min) , in one position (doggy style) and the condom did not break. After ejaculation I observed my semen securely in the bottom of the condom. Afterwards , I washed my genital area with soap and water while taking off the condom.  There was no oral sex or 4 play involved. We did deep kiss on two occasions using our tongues. Not sure if my gums were bleeding at the time or if this even matters. It did not appear hers were bleeding. She is 21yrs old and recently diagnosed from IV drug use. I've had no symptoms and no herpes out breaks for over 7 yrs.

Was this a high risk exposure?
Does sexual position (male to female) and duration of sex factor into exposure?
Does age play a role in HIV viral load and immune systems? Seeing that she is 21 and recently diagnosed.

Thanks!

As you were told, there was no risk, you were exposed to. Protected sex (if the protection did not fail during the sex) and deep kissing is absolutely safe. You are fine, stop worrying about HIV and stay away from the net surfing for HIV
