Is it safe

[Ebigdaddy34]

I had sex with a thai girl and I used a condom. I made sure it didnt slip off or break during intercourse. Am I safe from hiv?

Hello.  Your question has been fully answered that you did not have a risk.  Therefore, any symptoms would not be related to HIV.

You sound like you may just worry a lot.  For me, I look for the trigger to my worry.  If sex with strangers routinely makes you nervous and have fears that condoms aren't safe, then get in a monogamous relationship and remain faithful.  That can be easier said than done. But look at your anxiety triggers and work on that. You aren't going to get HIV from protected sex with an intact condom and you will know if the condom breaks.  Work on your persistent worry and anxiety, that is the true issue here.

Thank you all for the knowledge and help.

You are safe.

I had a scare about 3 yrs ago and now I always worry about how safe condoms really are. I follow directions on how to place on condom but I always worry about effectiveness.

You will never get HIV while using a condom that does not visibly break during intercourse.

Is it possible to get hiv if I deeply French kissed this girl. Obviously I didnt check her mouth for any open sores or bleeding gums. What are the chances?

[CurfewX]

No, not possible.  The only risks for HIV are having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or sharing intravenous drug needles.

One last question please. I normally roll off the used condom but this time I just pulled it off and checked for any visible tears. Could it be possible pulling off the condom could leave some vaginal fluid on my penis and potentially leave me open to infection? Is washing immediately after intercourse a chance to spread virus since I'm not circumcised?

There is no scope of what-if's any more, we can keep going at it all day long but the point will keep coming back to what's said before - Your situation is straightforward, you used a condom, it was used correctly, it ensured your safety.

It is time for you to move on. If you are still anxious about this event, see a counselor for overcoming your irrational fear.

Thank you for reassurance

So I have a question it's been 6 days since that sexual encounter and now I've come down with the flu, fever and pain in my neck. Could these be symptoms of hiv and could they develop this soon. Now I'm a bit worried!
