Should I Get Tested?

[john9322]

Over the past 2 years I've had sex with 6 escorts, something I'm not proud of but it happened. All these encounters were protected and never made skin contact during sex. After sex I'd remove the condom properly and always would check for damage, there never was any. Since my last encounter I've taken a month course of 200 mg doxcycline so doubt I can have any std. What I'm really worried about is HIV, do you think it's possible to get HIV without a single breakage of a condom (latex) and having only vaginal sex? Should I bother getting tested?

One more question. When a condom breaks you'd know right? I'm really self aware. Even though I checked I keep thinking maybe I missed a tiny tear or something would it even matter if the tear wasn't next to my uretha? I'm circumsized so uretha would be the only entry point. I mean the chances of getting HIV without a condom is extremely low during vaginal sex. All my encounters lasted a minute or less, due to nerves and how drunk and tired i was and never were rough. Would you test if you were me scientifically speaking, not emotionally. Anyway thanks for your response I guess I just feel terrible about the whole thing.

HIV transmission in a protected sex is possible only if the protection fails during penetration. This never happened in your case, so you were never exposed to HIV risk. No need for any testing for HIV
