HIV Risk


Hello, I am in panic mode...I was in Las Vegas a week ago and drank way to much and made a stupid decision to go home with someone from the bar and have unprotected sex. Now I am not sure if this person is HIV positive or not...im just getting scared by the statistics that surround black americans and HIV. He did not *** inside me... as horrible as this sounds my main concerns are that he was a black male between the ages of 20-25 and all the reports that exist stating the risk of heterosexual sex with black males. If you could be honest with me on what my chances are 2 best of your knowledge. Also I have to wait like 3 months to wait to be tested because of the window period... i think I might go insane with worry by then. I am from a small town in Canada i dont know anyone with HIV, im so scared. Anyways be honest with me. Thank you.

Stats are really useless when it comes to HIV and this forum deals with risk. Unprotected sex is a risk and does dictate that you test at 3 months. You can test at 6-8 weeks for a good indication but 3 months is conclusive.

You can go over to the expert forum and read post after post from the Dr's to get a sense of the stats they use if it helps you.

Just because someone is black doesnt mean they have HIV

I am not saying that, im just saying the the ratio of african americans with HIV far exceeds white americans with HIV, so iam more nervous because  every website i come across talks about the issue in america with blacks and HIV. I am just stating what I have read, not trying to make judgement.
