I find that really hard to believe as in most studys say it is possible with high risk people like prostitutes who could have been on drugs

I think there is still some risk most research shows that with high risk people like prostitutes you can still get hiv even with a condom on

you can "think" all you want...but facts are facts.

a raw blister is not a sufficient means into your bloodstream.  no one has ever been infected in the manner in which you are describing...NO ONE.  

you won't make history !

what about from fluid on the condom or if some gets off the bottom or on your testicles. I have read you have a 1 in thousand chance even with a condom with a high risk individual with hiv who takes drugs uses needles and is a prostitute i dont know if any of the three met that crateria but it would still be possible to get the virus

You're wasting your time and money getting tested for a zero risk situation.You should be spending that money seeking therapy for your anxiety instead.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug abusers
Mother to child

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

That doctor has no idea about HIV transmission if that's what they told you.Learn about the modes of HIV transmission.If you think we are nuts then go have your test,collect your negative result and then come back and tell us we were right all along.There is no need to insult people on this forum,if you are not happy with the assessment then you have the option to go elsewhere for an opinion.

You stated that you had condom protected sex. Condoms are regulated medical devices and under go strengent testing and quality control. Latex condoms, when used consistently and correctly, are highly effective in preventing the sexual transmission of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. In addition, consistent and correct use of latex condoms reduces the risk of other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including diseases transmitted by genital secretions, and to a lesser degree, genital ulcer diseases. Condom use may reduce the risk for genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and HPV-associated diseases, e.g., genital warts and cervical cancer.
