Please Help.. Freakign out. Condom broke at the start of anal sex
Hello Dr. H,
Ive been reading this forum for the past 12 hours or so and found it very helpful. I am really hoping that you can alleviate my anxiety, though I'm otherwise educated and are aware of the absolutely numbers.
I am a 34 year old guy and was having sex with a CSW here in the L.A. area. Had the condom on, but I guess now without adequate lube. I entered her from behind (anal) and felt a pop almost right away and withdrew my penis 1-1.5 seconds later and saw that the condom had popped. Got up right away, removed the condom, made myself urinate (in the toilet) for a good 10-15 seconds and applied lots of 70% alcohol to the head of the penis (some went into the urethra as i felt a minor burn).
So, my possible exposure was no more than 2 seconds which consisted of the initial thrust when the condom broke and the withdrawal. Thats all. I have taken the HIV test 2 hours later and it was negative to establish a baseline.
So now are freaking out of the possibility of contracting HIV. She said that she is tested every 2 weeks and was last tested wednesday, but not sure if i can believe her (first encounter). Are my chances realistic give that exact sequence of events
Do I do PEP now? Its been approximately 18 hours ago. PLEase please please HELP!

Not sure a Dr would give you PEP based on the exposure. Or at least a Dr should not give you PEP based on the exposure.
Hi...
I am sorry... I posted there (and Paid) and I guess here as well.
Definitely not a known exposure. She says she's been tested... Im pretty sure its nothing but still couldnt sleep at night and keep thinking about doing PEP just to be sure.
