Worried sick about possible HIV exposure - Please help me rest my fears

[worried122]

Dear Experts,

I am in great need of some reassurance regarding my situation.

I have been reading through many posts and am pretty sure that my risk was non-existent. I am however struggling to rationalize this and need one of your expert opinions in order to carry on with life and stop worrying.

I had PROTECTED Vaginal Intercourse with an HIV Positive female about 8 weeks ago. The condom did not break or tear and was intact from start to finish. I have no prior STD's and am in a healthy condition. I was so worried after the event that I started a 28 day coarse of PEP (After 60 hours after I had sex). I have had NO symptoms of ARS (I know symptoms is a bad indicator).

Is the ANY way that I could contract HIV or are my fears unwarranted? All I need is a simple answer because all this anxiety is driving me crazy. Do I need to get tested at 12 weeks?

Thanks

of course you had NO RISK.

hiv is transmitted through...
UNPROTECTED vaginal / anal intercourse
sharing iv drug works
mother to child

CLEARLY you can see that you had no risk.

Hey Lizzie, after looking at the forums I realized that PEP was not warranted. Can you confirm that I has no risk - I know I sound pathetic but its driving me crazy and need your expert opinion PLEASE!
