Odds of contracting HIV

[worriedinthecarribean]

Hello, I would like to know what are the odds of contracting HIV in a one time encounter. I am ver afraid of this disease and always careful, a couple days ago went to a bachelor party where I had sex with one of the girls, it was protected, but am not sure if the condom was propoerly used, I mean, if I put it correctly, it never fell off or broke, but I might have put it the incorrect way.

What could my odds be of cpontractiong HIvand what are the odds of contracting HIV in a one time encounter, I am a male cirumcised.

Hello, even if you have a small cut in your penis? even this is no RISK? I had a small bruise in my shaft due to masturbation, could this pose a risk of hiv infection from unprotected oral sex? this is my last questiom I am just a bit paranoid because of that.

Move on and stop post to old threads.

It does not matter if the condom was put on correctly or not. As long as the head (Tip) of the penis was completely covered.
Even if the condom broke, as long as the tip/head was covered, you are 100% safe.

Chances of CSW having hiv is rare. If she asked for protection, she olbviously cares about her health as you too. Chances are that she does not have hiv.

Thank you very much rain lover for your answers, it helps a lot. Just so you know, I am really afraid of this disease and always imagine the worst, that is why I do no fool around much, cause I do want to have a family and get married, so that is why I am afraid of this disease, and whenever I do something out of my normal behavior, I get really paranoid and start thinking the worst. That night I was really drunk and that is why I got with that hooker, first time in my life, and now the guilt is killing me, cause is not something i do. Even though I know there was no risk, even though the guy who hired them saw their health card that stated they had no ETS and said the tests were taken in november, even though I even have the condom still and see it has semen, which will mean I was protected, also she asked me if I dah protection, which means she is careful with that as well, even with all that, I get all paranoid, and it bugs me. I have had this type of behavior before, that is why I have taken like 5 HIV tests in my life, and now even with your words I play a mental picture and start thinking, if I put the condom incorrectly? if I performed unprotected for a couple of minutes, something I know did not happen, all the What Ifs play tricks on my mind. And as you can see I do get paranoid. I want 3 months to pass fast so I can take another test. What do you think of all this? Should I really be worrying this much?

Yes,thats true.It is much harder for a male to contract the virus from a female than the other way around.The odds of a first time transmission are slim.Circumcised men are less likely to become infected than uncircumcised men but the rule of thumb is always wear a condom at all times for penetrative vaginal or anal sex.

[worriedinthecarribean]

Just for knowledge, is it true it is harder for male to catch HIV forma a female? Also, what are the odds of catching HIV from a one time unprotected vaginal sex? I also read some place that circumcised men have alower risk of getting infected than non circumcised, is this true?

[RainLover71]

No,unprotected oral sex is zero risk.

[worriedinthecarribean]

Will try to, cause I cannot stop thinking about it. receving unprotected oral sex pose a risk of infection?

[RainLover71]

Go and enjoy the new year and keep being safe--you had no risk from this incident.

[worriedinthecarribean]

So I can say that I took no risk and should not worry about the possibility of infection?

[RainLover71]

  It doesn't matter,the head of your penis was covered at all times.

[worriedinthecarribean]

Thank you, even if I might have out the condom wrong? I mean, not the proper way, but the other way.

since I a m afraid of disease I even saved the condom, sorry for being so specific, but my semen is in the condom, could this mean that maybe initially I put it wrong, but then corrected it. Could it be possible for a guy to put on the condom incorrectly and still keep semen in and stay protected?

[RainLover71]

For a first time incident the odds are slim but you used protection so you don't need to concern yourself with odds--plain & simple--you had no risk.
