Hiv Risk

[alladca]

I got drunk and had PROTECTED vaginal sex with a CSW. From what I remember, condom never slipped or fell off. Come to find out I had untreated chlamydia during this encounter. What's my risk level? Please help.

Hi, as stated, you had protected sex which means you were not at risk for HIV transmission which we are glad about.  To answer your question, if someone has an std, it can increase the odds of HIV transmission if one has unprotected sex with an HIV+ partner.   As your question has been fully answered that you did not have a risk because you used a condom, we are going to close this discussion.  You may always test for peace of mind if you would like.  We wish you the best.

Also, Should I get tested from this exposure alone or no? I have since taken care of the chlamydia. Please answer

I read online that having untreated STI's would increase my likelihood of getting HIV, however, I'm assuming this only applies to unprotected sex is that correct and that it would have no effect on my risk as long as I wore a condom?

[alladca]

The exposure was about 7 weeks ago

Also, should say this was in the US

I have also experienced absolutely 0 symptoms if that helps

Using condoms for penetrative sex prevents HIV. You had no risk and do not need a test.

Does the fact that I had chlamydia during it make any difference? Sorry if I'm being annoying just want to make sure I have covered all of my bases. Thanks.

It makes no difference. You still had no risk for HIV.

So I'm correct in saying that it would only increase my risk of infection if it was unprotected?
