These are convoluted "what if" questions that show you are doing exactly what I advised you to avoid: overthinking it. Trust me on this: there are no facts, nothing you can ever think of, that would change the fact that the exposure you describe carried no risk for HIV. You came here for reassurance and I gave it, in no uncertain terms. Accept it or not, I don't care, but don't argue with it.
This thread is over. Any additional comments like these will result in immediate deletion of the entire thread.
I live in Canada, so testing is free - though, I'd rather not go through the tension if there's clearly no risk.
That she did not unroll the condom prior to placing it on my penis
This is the last thing I could think of in the whole affair.
The stripper took some of the lube I suppose from the condom and rubbed it on her vagina prior to applying the condom to me about 30 seconds or so later.
Is that condom dangerous in some fashion and puts me at enhanced risk or would you still say to forget testing?
No, not with this sort of exposure. Don't overthink the situation, and try to avoid overreacting to a sexual exposure you regret. Deal with the emotional aspects of it as you need to, but stop worrying about medical consequences.
Hi - thank you for your response. Makes me feel a lot better, just one more point that I can think of. It appears I have a small abrasion on my penis.
These kinds of abrasions normally occur to me through masturbation, mostly because I don't use lube.
I am wondering if the presence of this abrasion, like a small burn, would increase my chance of contracting anything
Welcome to the forum.
You had safe sex. Even without a condom, many experts consider oral sex to be safe. It's certainly safe with respect to HIV, which is virtually never transmitted in the oral to genital direction; virtually zero risk for other STDs as well (e.g., hepatitis, HPV, HSV-2, chlamydia); and quite low risk for the remainder (gonorrhea, NGU, syphilis). Condoms work, so there was no transmission chance until it broke; and at that point your exposure to the sex worker's mouth was too brief to be a risk of anything. And of course hand-genital contact is entirely risk free.
Your headache, sore throat, and cough are a cold -- and obviously that problem started before the exposure.
I recommend against testing for HIV or any other STD on account of this event -- not even for anxiety relief. There simply is no chance you caught anything and I suggest you not waste your money. But if you insist, visit an STD clinic. Whatever you decide, please don't spend a few hundred dollaras on comprehensive STD testing through some online service. For those infections that have any chance whatsoever from this event, just have a urine test for gonorrhea (at any time) and blood tests for HIV and syphilis at 6 weeks. Nothing else.
I hope this helps. Best wishes-- HHH, MD
