Hiv risk

[ram32]

Hello Guys,

I have read many forum, online content everyone says condoms are not 100% . There have been many claims and instance when people have claimed they got positive even after using the condom correctly and consistently.

I have gone through post by Dr Hunter and Dr  Hook even they have claimed that even after using the condom correctly and consistently there is still a small risk.

You have been asking about this since 2011.  That is TWELVE years that you've been worried about protected intercourse.  It is not rational to be this preoccupied about protected intercourse.

It's not actually about that.   Hear is my story.
I have had around  80 - 90 encounters with CSW in this past 7 - 8 years.  In this only 2 to 4 times I had Protected sex , condom did not break and sex lasted for not more than a minute as I have problem of Premature ejaculation. But apart from that I always wore condom and didn't even removed my pants. Only performed breast sucking and few times neck kissing. There was no visible sore , blood from nipples, nor anyone of them anytime were lactating . Lately I am having this hiv phobia . On Dec 2020 I had fungal infection which I caught it from my wife, as she was as well having it. She got cured but I am still struggling it having re-occurance of fungal on groin area as soon as I leave treatment. on Nov 2021 I had mulluscom outbreak in my private part (Diagnosed by doctor). I believe it was around 20 - 25 bumps which I removed it by myself. I believe I caught it from my wife . My wife was having few bumps on her back, which got disappeared after 2 months. But never clinically diagnosed with mulloscum.  After removing post 7 months I did not got any new bumps. I am also suffering from IBS and bloating from last 5 years.  I have developed an phobia of this reading posts from medhelp /thebody website and scanning Internet but dying afraid of hiv and hiv testing.

I can't help you with your phobia and your obsession with searching the internet. This is an HIV prevention forum, not a phobia help service.  Condoms work. If you are concerned, then just test - we can't help you with that phobia either.

The only risks from sexual activity are having unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse - none of the activities you mentioned put you at risk for HIV.  If you are having medical issues, see a doctor for diagnosis.

A condom that does not visibly break protects you completely from HIV.
