Protected sex with 3 different women
Hello, I had fully protected sex (condoms used from start to finish and did not fail) with 3 different women (not CSW) in the last 1 month. Is there any chance that I could have contracted HIV? Would you feel 100% safe? Do i need testing?
And one last question: statistically is it more risky to have PROTECTED sex with, say 20 random different women, or UNPROTECTED sex with only 1 random woman. In other words, if condom is used consistenly and correctly, the number of partners doesnt matter that much?

They did answer u. Go get tested to put ur mind at peace! From what u say do not expect another result that a negative one.
I dont want you to repeat anything. I just ask because i see a slight inconsistency.
I had 3 protected vaginal sex (no condom failure) encounters and i was advised to test (even though i should not worry).
From other answers from you, TEAK and LIZZIE (and other people here), you specifically say that when sex is protected (no condom failure), the risk is zero, therefore no testing required.
So which of the two is true? When you have protected vaginal sex and there is no condom failure, you test (i.e. there is some risk) or you dont test (i.e. there is no risk)?
Thanks for clarifying.

So, and this will be my last post, no risk whatsoever for the 3 protected vaginal sex encounters? Is there ANY chance you can get HIV from protected sex (if there is no condom breakage)?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Like i said no need to worry. But still being active in sex. having multiple partners get tested for yourself and for your future partners.
Thanks for the reply. They were NOT CWSs, they were ordinary girls. And yes, with those 3 girls, we only had vaginal sex with condom (fully protected).
So do i have to worry?

Being sexually active with multiple partners even if you use condoms you should still get tested. Every 3-6 months for STD's im not saying your infected. But getting tested is the responsible thing to do for yourself and for your partner. Besides it is better in life knowing what you have. But if your encounters were protected expect a negative result. Im not advocating the behavior but try to avoid csw's if it is giving you stress. Then for your future partners get tested for HIV and other STD's.
