Possible HIV risk

by peresphone, Jun 14, 2008 11:44PM
this could just be like hypochondria or something but lately i've been worrying about the chance of having HIV. like i'm pretty paranoid as it is and i nromaly make a habit of using condoms during sex but the last 2 times i hadnt, there was no release on the guys part but still i've had sex with the one before and my results came back negative. i can't help worring about it and the other one told me he gets tested regularly. and yeah I know people say stuff like that and they could be lying but is there still a chance i may have it even if there was no fluids exchanged? im getting tested in 2 days, if it comes back positive would i still be able to have children without spreading it or have sex using condoms and limit the risk for the guy?

You're female, yes?

The chances of catching HIV from a single unprotected sex act if he was HIV+ is 1/1000 (probably less than this since he didn't ejaculate).  

If you use a condom, HIV can't infect the other person.

To have a baby, there's artificial insemination and medications you can take to keep it from spreading to the child, but I don't know a lot about either of these topics.

I highly doubt you'll have to worry about it anyways.  HIV prevalence in the general pop (not gay / not drug user / not prostitute) is somewhere around 1 in 1000.

You had unprotected sex, the only way to know your status is by testing.
