Help Please .............

Hello,

I have been really very very stupid recently and played with my life.
I had sex with many prostitutes, about 7 or 8 in the last 4 weeks.
DETAILS: Vaginal sex->Protected
               Oral Sex->Protected
               Deep passionate Kissing
               Kissing on each other's naked bodies

I checked condoms each time after use, they seemed fine.

Please help me with my risk. I am extremely tensed. Do i need to take a test at 3 months?

If a condom does not break, it provides complete protection.

Doctors never say something is no risk, so they say the risk is 1 in a million. However for practical purposes that is zero risk anyway.

You have no worries. Nobody has ever contracted HIV when wearing an intact condom and you will not be the first.

Latex condoms, when used consistently and correctly, are highly effective in
preventing transmission of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. In addition, correct
and consistent use of latex condoms can reduce the risk of other sexually
transmitted diseases (STDs), including discharge and genital ulcer diseases.
While the effect of condoms in preventing human papilloma virus (HPV) infection
is unknown, condom use has been associated with a lower rate of cervical
cancer, an HPV-associated disease. Laboratory studies have demonstrated that latex condoms provide an essentially impermeable barrier to particles the size of STD pathogens.

Thank You Lou for dropping me the assurance.
I am sorry for asking this one. Yeah, i did wear condom correctly each time.
But read that one could still catch HIV even though the chances are very small.
Are the condoms really that safe, can they really be trusted 100%?

Thank you Joggen.
But i can see the good docs writing in their forum that condom protected sex is very very low risk. It is the 'very low risk' part that is haunting me.
I am so tensed. I also read that some people catch HIV even though they are extremely careful and use condoms each time. Thanks

You did not have a risk and do not need testing.

Condoms are 100% effective when used consistently and correctly.
