Scared to Death

[steven123]

Wasn't thinking at all and was influenced by a bad buddy, we went to a strip joint and brought back the strippers to our hotel room they were from St Catharines, Ontario... I was extremely intoxicated and rub my penis on the opening of her vagina maybe 5secs tops...then I slipped and maybe went inside of her unprotected for 2secs top(if i even did enter here, too drunk) before I smarted up and put a condom on... had protected sex for a few min before I went to the washroom and scrubbed my penis.. later on I asked her if she was clean and she said she was test 6months ago and was clean and that she havent had unprotected sex since she had been test.. What are my chances of contracting HIV from her? I am worried sick. Thanks  a million everyone. I knew I screwed up bad and has made me more aware of life, since then I have really smartened up in life and no longer go to the bars.
say she did have HIV what would my chance of getting it from here with that brief encounter...
This happened 2yrs ago and just started worrying about it now seeing how I just started having night sweats and googled why I would be having night sweats and HIV came up... I also quit smoking a few weeks ago and just quit coffee a few days ago.. could these things give me night sweats? I am worried sick here... Thanks Doc for your help you give to me and others... This whole ordeal has changed my life.. Thanks and god bless.

Hello Steven,
I do not believe that you have put yourself at any significant risk of HIV infection whatsoever.  This is for a number of reasons as follows:  unknown status of the lady (most likely negative statistically)and very brief unprotected penetration.  The estimated risk of unprotected insertive vaginal intercourse with a known HIV positive lady is less than 0.1% or less than 1 in 1,000 (not 1 in 100 as the other kind contributor to your thread states).  Therefore I would not worry, if I were you.  However this other contributor is right in stating that you ought to have an STD screening because you have definitely put yourself at risk of other much more common sexually transmitted diseases, which are usually always treatable but not always give symptoms.  And of you continue worrying about HIV, why don't you just have a simple HIV antibody test?  This will be negative and will give you complete peace of mind.
Best wishes,
Dr Jose

I would advise you to go and get a full screening ( GUM Clinics) Thats what there called over here in England and there free of charge, They might be different over there
But they can test you for HIV
I'm sure yours is a very low risk chance of catching it.I here if you have unprotected sex with someone who is HIV positive its a chance of 1 out of 100
But you don't even know she is positive yet
But I'd advise you to get a full screening
Good luck!
