Testing in 7 Weeks, am i in the clear (if negative)

Testing in 7 Weeks, am i in the clear (if negative)

Hi,

Here is my story, I had too much to drink, ended up having protected sex with a sex worker (cliche I know). While having sex (Oral unprotected / Vaginal protected), after Ejac (10 to 15 sec), the girl says that the condom broke. I immediatley withdrew and went ot the washroom and cleaned my self. i did not check if the condom really broke, but yet i put my self to a killer anxiety that has been going on for 7 weeks now. I cant get tested here in Kuwait, as if by any chance i get a positive result, i will get departed immediatly as am a foreigner working there. Am going to my home country to get tested in 3 days, and am really anxious to know if my 48 days post exposure test in conclusive, i need to get back to my normal life, i have been living in hell for almost 7 weeks now, i have experienced some symptoms of ARS as am always googling for stuff, and everything symptom i google, i will definetly get it. I had night sweats days after the the exposure, and they have been on and off since that time, not really worried cause i used to have them for years. i had a white tongue (my daignosis) for 2 weeks, and white lump appeared in the middle of my tongue, it was painless but annoying. now its gone, but thats the thing that worries me, this white lump that appeared on my tongue, is it ARS related? all the docotrs said thats its nothing, and it might be an ulcer from stress, i would really like to believe that, but i cant.

any one knows if my test will be conclusive, am i at a high risk of getting HIV?

your help is really appreciated

Thanks, and will keep you posted on my 7 weeks result :)

Thanks once again,

about the testing, is it conclusive after 7 weeks? i know there are lots of questions of the same kind, but i had adressed Dr. Bob from TheBody, and he said that i shoudl wait for three month. Is that true??

Since you didn't have a risk, yes...Had you had a risk NO.

Assuming that the condom broke, will this put me under a high risk of contracting HIV?

were your eyes open when you removed the condom?  

if the condom had failed...YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN.  instead of seeing the condom "covering" your penis...your penis would have been exposed.

When yyou take the condom off, you couldnt just yank it off  from the top if it was broken.  If it broke you would need to pull it up and off from the base of the penis as that would be where the remains of the rubber would be, and your penis head would be exposed.  It would be harder to take off a broken condom so you would notice it.

Thanks for all the support, actually i did not take out the condom, she did, when i withdrew (quickly) i remember that the condom was half way on my penis and then she took it off. I believe that she was lying because you know for the amount of money i paid its only one round of sex. when i ejaculated i told her, after 20 seconds she said off me, the condom broke, i paniced and never saw exactly if the condom broke. i believe she shoudl have felt it if i ejaculated inside of her, right? before she said that the condom broke

I think you are letting your mind get the best of you.
You would have felt a difference in the sex and as said about it is not easy to remove a broken condom.

She probably wanted you to get off before the condom broke (not the condom has broke)as you had ejaculated and should withdraw at this stage and not stay inside.

am not that expert with Sex, especially that this was my first time with a sex worker, i usually have protected and unprotected sex with my GF, i know the difference is extreme between protected and unprotected, but yet i have been with my girl for two years, and literally cant 100% differentiate, as the feeling from one girl to another is different. I have leveled with my girl, and we are not having any sexual activity, waiting for my test results (it ***** big time).
if the condom became larger after ejac / panic, will it still be hard to take it off?

sorry for bothering you guys, but that is being helpful

Thanks

forget the feeling "during" sex.  YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN WHEN YOU TOOK THE CONDOM OFF ! ! ! ! !

if nothing will do you but to test...then test.

this forum has nothing more to offer.

IF SOMEONE HAD A RISK...a test at 7 weeks would be a good indication of their status...but ONLY a test done at 3 months post exposure will give you a CONCLUSIVE result.
