Was condom mine? help!

Please help me out guys!! I appreciate your help! Three nights ago me and two other friends picked up three random girls that night. I was really drunk, really. I had sex with the girl. I do remember putting condom on before inserting into her vagina. But the rest I dont remember. I blacked out. The next following day I found the used condom in my pocket. What are the chances that it was mine from that night? And that I used it... Please help me... Please your comments... Should I get HIV test?

Numbers won't tell you anything about your status. The only way to know your status is by testing.

Odds are in my favor, is that a good thing?? So is he saying its a LOW risk?? And no matter what country? Infected woman is an infected woman? So anyway, 1 in 1000, still considered low risk?

If you don't remember the entire act from start to finish, then either find and ask the girl, or get tested.

Most likely you used a condom, but without being able to remember, you can't be sure.

Alcohol and sex are a bad mix!

Even if I inserted with a condom on and the next morning condom was in pocket intact?

because you don't remember the events clearly it would be foolish of us to say you had no risk.I would take the test just for peace of mind.

Im not asking if I used one of my friends' condom. I do remember putting a new one on. And I inserted into her vagina. The rest I dont remember... The next day I had condom in,my pocket. What.are the chances that it was mine and that I used it properly. Or did I just pick up from one of my friend when he was done? Should I still test for HIV?

I didn't mean to say "slim to none"...sorry.  Mr brain had a little hiccup.

Your risk was ZERO.

The chances are slim to none.  Condoms are VERY hard to reuse, and if you were as drunk as you were...you wouldn't have been able to reuse someone else's condom.

If you're just worried about coming in contact with one of your friend's used condoms after sex, that also would be no risk, as the virus cannot maintain its infectiousness outside of the body.

You had NO risk and have NO need to test.

I'd strongly suggest you ease up on the drinking though.  Drinking to the poiont of black out is dangerous.
