length of an encounter

[worriedteen5151]

hello all, just another question about hiv and infection. so i said in my previous question that my encounter was a 10 to 15 second insertion, vaginal sex with a white female who i had known for some time. im just wondering if theres any facts or thoughts on duration of the encounter, and how it effects your risk for hiv?

thanks very much for your thoughts lizzie, and i have learned my lesson from this experience. i was about to write back and mention this was also my first time engaging in this kind of activity, but your answer seems to have wrapped up any loose ends. i am getting tested, and once again thanks for your insight and advice. all the best.

my "take" would be that it is unlikely that you were infected.  

one...the duration is almost non existent
two...it is highly unlikely that this young girl has hiv

with that being said...get tested so that you can put this behind you.

UNTIL you are in a monogamous relationship where BOTH of you have tested...ALWAYS use condoms for penetrative vaginal/anal intercourse.  sex lasts a few minutes...HIV LASTS A LIFETIME.

that seems logical. 10 to 15 seconds, what would your take be? also im 99% sure she wasnt infected

common sense states that the longer someone is exposed to something...the greater the chance of becoming infected.
