I need your opinion guys

It's official. I'm freaking out. Over weekend I had unprotected oral both ways with a CSW. Then we proceeded to have protected vaginal. That's when I noticed blood all over the shaft and my abdomen. She started her period and the site of blood terrified me. Now all of those questions concerning getting blood on my hand then rubbing my eyes, touching my penis to remove the condom and wash off, or licking some blood and not noticing it, are keeping me up at night. Don't know what to do, medhelp docs say not to test, aidsmeds say not to test, but im horribly anxious. This isnt the first time I've done this, but the sight of blood...Is it a different ball game? Any advice is appreciated.


Cheers

" I do not recommend HIV testing on account of this exposure."

Dr. HHH

The presence of blood during sex can be disconcerting and set people off but it doesn't really present any risk in itself. Once blood is outside the body, HIV becomes inactive and unable to infect, and skin is an effective barrier anyway. Whatever emotional reaction you are having does not correspond to the actual risk involved, which is none. You had protected sex and that is the only thing that is important.

Thanks for responding apollo. I'm really worried coz different sites say different things regarding oral sex etc. I'm also not certain of what Dr. HHH is telling me. Is he saying I shouldnt test?

You have already dealt with DR HHH, i think you should fully understand and take on board his comments.

My advice, stop going to sex workers, i dont belive you can deal with the situations you put your self in.
