chlorine smell after protected sex
Im a female. I had protected sex thrice with my boyfriend in one session. condoms had extra lubricant. However when i got home, my vagina smelt -chlorine like. I googled and it said semen smell like that. Some pages said condoms smell like that too after sex. From what i know no slipping or breakage Of condom occurred. But the smell lasted for an hour or two and its bothering me. Im scared. do I need testing?
Smells do not mean HIV. You used a condom and therefore had no risk and do not need to test. Best
