Irritation?? Can someone please reply to my question?
by Mili1972, May 02, 2008 12:07AM
I tested for HIV at 5 weeks after having sex (with a condom) with this guy and the result is NEGATIVE...should I test again? PLEASE read the following...
I had sex with a guy, I played bottom...we used a condom and water based lube. Then I asked him to use another condom and some silicone based lube that I always like to use. This because I don't like water based lubes. When we were done, he pulled out with the condom on, never came off his penis. So I had NO contact with his sperm.
About 10 minutes later I could feel some anal irritation, like a burning sensation. I have felt that irritation before, do you have any idea if some lubricants/condoms cause irritation? Or does it make any sense to you?
Should I test again?

no further testing needed.
sorry...cant help you with the irritated anus.
if testing is the only thing that will relieve your stress...then by all means do so. test 3 months post exposure.
we were not there...so there is no way that "we" can tell you if the condom ruptured or not. you might want to start checking this in the future so that all the "what ifs" do not have to be answered.
i feel sure that the irritation was caused by friction and the condom.
I can't take this life anymore, and if there is something I can do to stop being like this I will...and that is just STOP DOING WHAT PUTS ME AT RISK...PERIOD
