Hello vance , i was reading where Dr H said that there is a possibility for vaginal secretion to get ito lose fitting condom and possibly cause hiv infection . You have to take into consideration that there is the womans secretion at the base of the condom then you have your own secretion which is backing out from the condom together with th condom being a little lose at the rim , with the constant thrusting i believe some of the secretion from the woman can mix with mine and the virus travel up to the tip of my penis. i dont understand why you folks continue to say now risk as long as the tip of the penis is covcered can you explain how this tranmission of this virus really happens, is it that any secretion that comes out of the vagina and is exposed to the air renders the virus uninfectious so therfore there is little to worry about when it comes to vaginal secretion outside the host , i did a test at 4 weeks post questionable sexual encounter with my hiv + girlfriend, is this a good indicator that i didn't contract the virus from her. i am realyy worried because there is always secretion at the base of my penis whenever i do deep penetration and i somehow feel that her secretion can seep into the condom from the base and mix with my secretion and then virus travels up to the tip of my penis , can some patient caring individual help me pleaseeeee

Your sex was protected and it didn,t fail you,therefore you never had a risk of hiv infection and don,t require any testing.Your sore throat is not hiv related.If your going to react this way everytime you have protected sex with her then its going to cause problems in your relationship.
