Help am I Worrying to much

Help am I Worrying to much
I was in Slovakia last Thursday night and I had sex with a sex worker in a brothel and the condom broke but the top of my penis was still covered I'm nearly sure. I went to an STI clinic in London and the Doctor said the chances are I didn't get HIV as I had no small cuts on my penis and she has never came across a situation were someone was HIV positive after vaginal sex. Anyone got any advice to offer should I go on my doctors word. Also i heard Slovakia is a low risk country

Thanks in Advance
A worried man

I think its the way you chose to deliver the facts thats the problem Teak.

You didnt have an exposure Pauldoyle1, as Teak rightly said if the head was covered then you have nothing to worry about.

That is not what you stated. You stated in your first post that she said, "she has never came across a situation were someone was HIV positive after vaginal sex."

Fingers crossed it was. She said that basically she has never came across a situation were by the condom broke and the guy got HIV. She said my risk very low and less than 1%. The Doctor in question would be in her 50's and so was the nurse and they both said the same thing.

HIV can and does get transmitted by hetosexual sex. If the head of your penis was covered you never had an exposure.
