Do i need to worry?

[I1981]

Hi dr.
I am 30 years old married woman, been with my husband for 5 years now. I had always used condoms and protected myself, so i never tought i was at risk. Because my husband and i want to get pregnant i started thinking about my past. I rememberd one incident when i dated a guy 8 years ago. We did not have sex, but i slept at his house one night and woke up to him giving me oral sex. Than he penetrated me once for 10 seconds tops and did not move inside me. I asked him to stop and he did. That's it.
To be honest i haven't tought about it since and never saw it as a risk untill now, 8 years later due to the fact that i want a baby.
I feel healthy (other than smoking cigarrettes), im gaining weight, my pap tests at the women doctor are always fine and i dont suffer from any problem.
Do i have anything to worry about from this incident after all these years?
I must say that i live in a country with very very low rate of hiv, less than 0.001 of the population ( out of 7,500,000 people, less than 6000 are infected, mainly iv drug users, homosexuals and africans).

Thanks!

Welcome to our Forum.  From what you tell me, your risk for having HIV is virtually non-existent and your risk for other STDs which might compromise your ability to have children is likewise quite low.  I will presume there is little reason to worry that your husband might have HIV or other STD.  This leaves the single unprotected episode 8 years ago that you have described above.  The likelihood that your partner, as a heterosexual man had HIV is very low and even in the very unlikely situation that he did have HIV, there is no risk of getting HIV from oral sex, thus your only possible exposure would be the very brief vaginal penetration.  

My advice, do not worry.  If you have the chance and desire you may wish to be tested and if you are, I am confident your will find that you do not have HIV.  

I hope this comment is helpful.  Please don't worry. EWH

1) the 10 seconds penetration isn't something to worry about?
In science we can never say never however, as I said, the chances are VERY low.

2) after all these years, if i did had an STD most chances are wouldn't feel healthy?Probably

3) i don't necessarily need to test, only if i may wish?
Correct although should you become pregnant, testing is recommended for all women. EWH

thank you very much!

my husband is fine and i have no reason to worry about him.

i understand that i shouldn't worry about the incident 8 years ago, but i want to get something clear so i could put my mind at ease and start working on having a baby:

1) the 10 seconds penetration isn't something to worry about?

2) after all these years, if i did had an STD most chances are wouldn't feel healthy?

3) i don't necessarily need to test, only if i may wish?

thanks again and sorry if i'm being annoying :)
