unprotected vaginal sex
Doc- Two weeks ago I met a 26 yr. old turkish girl from Spain in a bar in NYC. Later that night, we had unprotected sex twice. The first time i was inside her for ten minutes, pulled out and she performed fellatio. The second time, I came to my senses after being inside of her for five minutes and put on a condom then finished. Afterwards, I asked her if she had 'anything'. She told me that she did not and went on to tell me that she was married to another woman in spain and as a requirement she is tested every six months. I then asked her if she has unprotected sex often with men. Her response was 'not usually' which to me implies that she does. She gave me no reason not to believe her, but I searched on the internet for spain's same sex marriage requirements regarding testing and came up with nothing. What are the risks with having sex with a bisexual woman, I assume the same for a heterosexual woman? I have every intention of getting tested. What type of test should I take and when should I take it? Thank you in advance.
To follow-up, let me tell you a couple of things. assuming the woman was positive, the average probability of infection for insertive vaginal sex with an HIV positive woman is .0009. That means that the likelihood of you being infected is .0009%.
Male-to-female transmission was approximately eight-times more efficient than female-to-male transmission and male-to-female per contact infectivity was estimated to be 0.0009
This is because the lining of the vagina is a mucous membrane and hence more permeable than the outside of the male penis. However, statistics cannot tell you your not at risk. Only the test does. you need to take the tests. In my experience, i took rapid tests at 7th week to ease the tension then it was followed with the 13th week rapid test for the conclusive result.

it,s best not to rely to much on what people tell you about there sexual history because it may not always be the truth.You require testing as you know because you had unprotected penetrative vaginal sex and by doing so put yourself at risk.I would suggest a p24combi test that looks for both p24antigen and antibodies.Take it at 6 weeks to establish where your at.Given that the majority of people don,t have hiv and it,s much harder to contract it from a woman,your situation appears not to be high risk.You may want to test for other std,s aswell.All the best.
you have put yourself at risk from that incident which requires you to take HIV diagnostic tests. 3 months is conclusive.
What are the risks with having sex with a bisexual woman, I assume the same for a heterosexual woman? - a risk is a risk, i say you can never assume someone's status by gender or sexuality in HIV.
