Potential Repeated Exposure
Since I separated and moved to another country, I explored prostitution scene.
I have had protected vaginal sex (only vaginal) with about 15 sex workers. Regardless of the fact that I am single I do tend to feel extremely guilty every time I do it - and most of the time its after drinking (no excuse).
I tend to do regular (almost every 3 weeks due to my anxiety) HIV tests - these are rapid tests but done at doctor's clinic.
Three weeks ago I had sex with 2 sex workers at registered brothels. That was my last potential exposure. Before that I know I am ''clean'' as I have had a rapid test about 2.5 months after my previous potential exposure.
About two weeks ago I have met a girl (as in a "normal girlfriend"). She is great and may be the one. We are at a stage where we probably will have sex soon (she has hinted).
However I am extremely worried that I may have caught something and certainly do not want to pass anything onto her. I guess the question is - is it ethically/morally/legally safe to have protected sex with her?
I certainly do not want to tell her that I visited prostitutes in the past.
Thanks

until you are in a monogamous relationship where both of you have tested...ALWAYS use condoms.
condom protected sex = safe sex
condom protected sex = safe sex
