Hiv Worry

[Mr_MK]

Recently I had a sexual tryst with a woman who turned out to be a sex worker. Initially I fingered her vagina (bare fingers) during foreplay and later had protected vaginal sex. The condom may have slipped down the Penis by 1/3 but for stayed intact for 2/3 of the length. The semen stayed in the condom and there was no breakage. I did not notice any visible cuts on my fingers that I used for foreplay. However, the skin near the Penis in the groin (inside part of the leg, what we call crotch) had some rashes due to skin infection. The hiv status of the lady was unknown,  although when prompted she replied in negative. Please let me know the risk and test regimen, if required. I am having a sore throat from the third/fourth day after exposure, with a blockage kind of feeling near supersternal notch and difficulty in swallowing.

Noted. I will see ENT specialist today itself

I still strongly recommend you see your doctor regarding what you feel may be a blockage in your suprasternal notch with  difficulty swallowing.
This is something I don't believe you should ignore.

Thank you so much. I'll take utmost care in future.

You had protected vaginal sex.............NO RISK

You said the condom slipped, but did NOT come off or break. As long as the head of your penis was covered, you had no risk.

Fingering is NOT a risk for HIV.

The skin rashes in your crotch, which you KNEW was a "skin infection" BEFORE this encounter, was also not a risk for YOU..........did you give any thought that you might pass this on to the woman?

You had NO RISK and do NOT need to test.

Your sore throat 3-4 days after this encounter means nothing other than you may be coming down with a cold or flu, but since you are ALSO feeling some sort of blockage in your suprasternal notch with  difficulty swallowing, I would STRONGLY suggest consulting a doctor. You can rest assured it has nothing to do with your sexual "tryst."
