Seriously Scared

by jdoe2004, Jul 22, 2008 06:23PM
I've been diagnosed with herpes and I had sex with a prostitute a week ago.  I had no signs of an outbreak and wore 2 condoms.  I'm scarred beyond belief as I'm feeling very tired lately and have had very regular bowel movements (2 to 3 times a day).  Do I have HIV?  

Please help.

why is it not smart?

think about it.
you put to condoms together and have sex.  This causes the latex to rub up together, cause friction and break.  That is not using a condom properly.  You are much safer using 1 condom correctly then trying to double bag it.  

Seriously, where is the sex education nowadays.
