Risk? 7 partners in 2 months, new to NYC!
Hello,
I am a gay man, 26, never have engaged in anal sex. Weird, I know. But I am neurotically safe.
Since moving to NYC I have gotten naked with 7 men. All around my age. Never anyone older than 32.
We've engaged in unprotected oral sex, including me having very chapped lips and possible cold sore that wasn't totally healed (broken skin), and I enjoy getting fingered so I've also had my partners do that to my anus, even after they've touched their own penises.
Am I putting myself at risk for HIV this way?
Thanks.

What part of you never had a risk is it you fail to comprehend? You do not have an HIV concern.
I now have another cold! 2 in 2 weeks!
Fever and dark green mucous/congestion!
Am I dying?! Is this ARS??!?!?!?
So nervous! I'm still an anal sex virgin and this is what happens?!?

if i don't engage in anal sex ever, i won't be at risk for hiv sexually?
That is correct!
The only way an adult can get HIV is through unoprotected vaginal or anal sex, and by sharing IV drug works. That's it.
Unfortunately, due to poor education about HIV, many people have a very overinflated view about HIV risks.

thank you nurse.
to recap:
no matter the number of partners, if i don't engage in anal sex ever, i won't be at risk for hiv sexually?

You are reading content posted in the HIV Prevention Community
Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
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.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
It's cold and flu season...so to have colds frequently is nothing alarming. ARS symptoms aren't consistent with a cold anyway.
Again, ONE last time...the risks for HIV are:
1. unprotected vaginal or anal sex
2. sharing IV drug works
3. breast milk (infants only)
If you've done nothing on that list, HIV is not a concern. I'd strongly suggest seeking some help.
