HIV and brothels

I had brief condom slippage while having sex with a CSW. Tested negative at 4 weeks. Even though I knew 6 weeks was the earliest for confirmatory results I was too scared to check. Friend of mine visited the brothel 3 months later and said the CSW I had sex with was still there. Since condom use is mandatory there, I am fairly certain STI checks would be conducted regularly. Would brothels generally continue to allow prostitutes to conduct business if they were positive?

"Since condom use is mandatory there, I am fairly certain STI checks would be conducted regularly."

Unless it is in Nevada where they are both legal and regulated, that isn't necessarily true.


"Would brothels generally continue to allow prostitutes to conduct business if they were positive?"

If this happens again to you, you should discuss HIV status and testing history with the CSW directly, rather than assume.

if the condom came off during withdrawal...it should have been hanging out of her.  testing is not needed for this, as your penis was covered at all times.

if it came off during sex...it should have been up in her.  you would need to test.

if the condom just slipped up the shaft of your penis but the head was still covered...testing is not needed.

if testing is required...you can do a test now since it has been 8 months post exposure and get a CONCLUSIVE test result.

didn't have any symptoms for the first few weeks. had a mild fever at week 13 that disappeared in less than 6 hours. Had another one this week which would make it the eighth month but that too also resolved itself in less than 2 days. Is this at all concerning?

condom was on the whole time but appeared to slip off at the end or either close to the end when I took away my penis. I never ejaculated.
