multiple unprotectED encounters

[qwerty234]

I had 2 brief encounters of unprotected vaginal sex and oral with a woman who has been rumored to be HIV positive. On those 2 encounters I did not ejaculate. I also had 1 more protected vaginal sex with  the same woman, where the condom had slipped off half way, but not completing exposing the head of the penis to the vagina (this way 5 days before I got tested) I tested negative at 34 days with a blood test. She has told me she had sex with 6 guys she dated before. Since then we completely lost contact. Thats when I heard that nasty rumor, I wasnt sure if was a joke or serious.

1. What are my chances of getting HIV from these encounters?

2. After the exposure where the condom slipped off half way

I'll bet that a rumor that a woman has HIV is a strong indication that she does not. Or at least that someone is being vindictive, without evidence.

In any case, very few women in the US are HIV positive, except injection drug users, commercial sex workers, or the wives or regular partners of HIV infected men--and not most of them. Most important, a negative HIV antibody test a month after exposure is highly reassuring.  For still more security, have another test after 6-8 weeks have gone by.  You can be sure the result will be negative.

So the answers to your questions are:  1) Almost zero.  2) Half way condom slippage doesn't matter; for HIV, it's as good as complete coverage.  3) See above.  You really didn't need testing at all except for reassurance; and that's the only reason to consider repeat testing. It's up to you.

Good luck-- HHH, MD

I saw this site giving details. From that, it seems an average of only  10, 000 women are reported positive every year in USA. Of this roughly 65% acquired the disease through heterosexual contact and the rest from drug use.

And even those statistics overstate the number of infected women to whom most forum users might be exposed. Most are the wives or other regular partners of HIV infected men and are not "out there" dating or having commercial sex.
