West Africa

Hopefully this is my last question. Please bear with me.

Can certain people be "more contagious" if they are infected? I had protected sex with a West African girl in London who claimed to be clean and tested but I have read they have other strains of the virus there. I'm just hoping I was at zero risk as I have slept with prostitutes before but never a foreign nation of Africa, a high infection area.

Even if she had Hiv you still never had a risk because you used protection.You don,t need testing,let alone nPEP.

Thanks again. As night time comes my anxiety always starts to increase so I apologise for this, I can feel my breathing getting heavier.

Then with regards to PEP, even if she definitely was infected though I would still be at no risk though wouldn't I? Or would they prescribe it to me even if the sex was protected.

You have already been told several times that you had no risk.You don,t qualify for nPEP either because you can,t say with 100% certainty that this csw had Hiv.
