HIV risk of me
Hi all, thank you for mentioned my post! My situation is horrible. I had several times sex experience with sex workers.
1, condom was broken. 3 weeks later, I got sore throat. I have done 3 times HIV test after the exposure. All the results were negative;
2, condom was intact. No any symptom at all. I have done 1 time HIV test. The result was negative;
3, I don't know the condom was intact or had some small holes. As I didn't check and saw little semen was in the tip of the condom after sex done. I got sore throat after 3 weeks from the vaginal sex, which was similar as my 1st time experience. After 8 weeks, I caught a cold. All the symptoms were cured completely in 5 days after I took medicine.
I knew the first and second time had no risk. But I have being worried about the 3rd time. Specially the symptoms that like the 1st time. Could you help me to clear the puzzles as below?
1, The sex worker will use the conform multiply?
2, I remembered when I took off the condom, it was worn tightly. And some semen could be seen in it.
Can these prove my condom was 100% intact?
3, Was my symptoms related with HIV? As I was lucky in the first time. But why did it happen again?
The Internet told me sometimes stress and worry may cause the sore throat. Is that correct?
4, According to my words, do you think I need to do ant HIV test again?
I am really very very worried now. No more brave to test again.
I won't be drunk and do those stupid thing in future. High appreciate for your detailed and honest answers!
Thank you!

Hi Teak, you are quite famous in Singapore HIV forum. So happy to receive your answer. Thank you!
Do you think stressed also can cause sore throat?
Why Dr. HHH won't recommend a test even condom break?

man, if your condom didn't break (it's obvious if it did) then you are safe man. no i wouldn't take a test if my condom didn't break. even if the condom broke, DR HHH didn't recommend testing. Millions of reasons cause sorethroat: lack of water, smoke, pollution, tired, spicy foods.
Hi bro, very much appreciate for your answers.
you thought my condom was intact?
And if u were me, will you do a test?
Thank you so much!

Your third time didn't have an exposure, if the condom broke, it would be very obvious, not with "small holes". Also the chance of meeting a sex worker with HIV is about 1%? And if the girl is hiv positive, the chance of you getting hiv is 1/1000, (lower chance if circumcised).
So, you are safe, but just get a test to ease your mind. If your mind can't withstand possible risk exposures, almost like you do not need to worry, then don't go for the sex services.
