Kinda starting to freak out guys
I went back and checked the calendar and I actually am six weeks. I decided to wait until sep 3rd, which would be my 7th wk to test. I go back and re-read my post on the situation and don't know how to feel. I don't think I'm in a position to be over confident about testing.
If you don't know my exposure, basically I had 15 minutes f unprotected sex with a client who was about 26 years old. He's in the army and expects to be able to travel over seas. He did not fully ejaculate due to me freaking out over the none use of condom. He was very drunk and very willing to remove the condom, which scares me. When I freaked out he said hey I tested negative 2 months ago, which I believe, however I don't know if that was a window period. He seemed like a good enough guy who didn't want nor expect to catch diseases, but that was a dumb situation for both of us. I know he has gotten at least 2 escorts before, don't know if he used a condom but it's likely being that most CSW's won't have sex w/out a condom. He got too comfy with me, and it was wrong. I'm scared about my chances, I'm scared about the exposure and I don't feel confident anymore. I feel a lot of shame for not being more responsible, and that's really starting to effect me. Do you think I should go talk to him? It wouldn't be a welcoming situation on his part.

Thanks guys. I try to be positive then I feel like I'm getting ahead of myself. This is not the most positive time in myself. Most things in life you get over, but not when you invited it into your life, then you kind of feel like you deserve whatever torture this may bring.You really made me feel better regjoey, because I'm sure if I had more to be worried about you would let me know. Not to mention you're pretty knowledgeable on the topic. I admire you, Teak, because even though your ideas may go argued, the fact is you bring awareness to a lot of people who have no idea whats out there in the world. And yeah Teak, I'll never go condomless again. I'm not really over the panic but I appreciate what you guys are doing.
By all estimates your risk would be extremely low. Expect a negative from your test!
in addition, i don't know how extensive sexual education in the army is. this guy figured we could have condomless consequence free sex, and that bothers me because for 15 minutes i gave into the same notion. i would go talk to him but thats waaaay easier said than done. the army does not kick you out for having hiv, however the army does require hiv infected personnel to tell their partners they have the disease or else they risk loss of benefits or discharge, but i dunno. maybe this guy cares about that and maybe he doesnt. maybe i sound weird but im just as nervous as everyone else.
once a year and every time they're moved or restationed. that doesn't take away from our carelessness.
