protected anal-hiv risk?
hi everyone, i am hoping some body can help me out. i am freaking out cause i am so afraid that i could have had exposure to hiv. i am a white female and 22 years old. i had not had sex before and went on a date with a guy 2 years agowho i thought was nice so i did a very stupid thing and we ended up having protected anal sex. i saw him afew more times and in total i think we had protected analsex four times. we used a condom and lube eachtime and as far as i know the condom didd not break. what is my risk???i am so scared please help me. i know i should get tested soon but i am so worried.
You didn't have an exposure.
so i was not at risk then?sorry iam very anxious about this. thank you for your help.
Not with protection which you did use protection. Had the condom failed you would have known without a doubt.
thankyou for your quick reply but can i just ask would i be at more of a risk cause it was anal??i hear this is an easier way to transmit hiv than vaginal sex. am i safe because we used condoms each time??what if it broke and i was not aware of it. i do not think it did but now i am thinknig what if it did and its very scary.
thank you.
thank you.
You didn't have a risk.

Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
