Odds of being positive for HIV? My case. Please help
I am so stressed and hope you can help me. I regrettably had multiple encounters (vaginal) with CSWs with condom during the course of 3 months, over a year ago. I am 100% sure there was no slippage or breakage at anytime. At the time I assumed I was safe and never got tested.
However, recently I started to feel very guilty that maybe there was a chance I got infected and may have infected my girlfriend. Interestingly enough my girlfriend told me she got tested for HIV (twice actually) few weeks ago along with other tests as part of annual medical exam. Both came back negative.
What are my chances of being positive? I am so scared to get tested but have finally mustered the courage to do it this week. Could it be possible that I am infected but somehow I didn’t transmit the virus to her and thus her negative result?

If you ALWAYS used condoms and are 100% sure there was no slippage or failures, then you never had a risk and never needed to test. Did you engage in risky sex with anyone else AFTER your encounter with the CSW?
Have you and your girlfriend been in a trusting & monogamous relationship this past year or so?
If YOU have not been with anyone else and your girlfriends two tests were negative, then you should let the guilt go as neither of you are HIV positive.
If you need further peace of mind, go ahead and test. It is EXTREMELY unlikely you will test positive, and I applaud you wanting to protect your girlfriend.

Thank you guys for the feedback and good advice. You have put my mind at lease.
BTW, I see there are "4 answers" to my questions but I only see 2. Is this a bug?

Sometimes idiots post comments just to entertain themselves at the expense of those who posted a concern.

Perhaps there's other reasons, but I think that may be one of them.

Hello,
Protected sex is 100% safe.
If you had protected sex you are not warranted to get tested.
You are HIV negative.
Good luck and stay safe. :)
