oral sex
I had a protected oral sex & it was my first gay explosure which i feel guilty for doing it but am sufering from anxiety now. It was about 5 months ago i gave him oral sex but he came inside the condom but now i keep on thinking what if the condom had a hole in it, but i am sure it didnt rip & why do i keep thinking negative that i have caught something. Thank You for your help.
Thank you both i dont believe in anal sex so i would keep away from that anyway. Take care keep your good work up.
i read your post. if there had been a risk from anything that you described...i would have told you so.
you were NEVER at risk.

The only confirmed ways to transmit HIV are:
Unprotected vaginal/anal intercourse (penetration is necessary)
Sharing needles for IV drug use
Mother to child (during pregnancy, child birth, or breast feeding)
Your "exposure" did not fit into any of these categories. As Lizzie told you, even UNPROTECTED oral sex carries no risk, so oral sex with a condom is about as safe as you can get, barring abstinence.
You are worrying needlessly. Continue to practice safer sex using condoms correctly and consistently, and you can expect to live the rest of your life HIV-free. Good luck to you.
