STD Risk HIV and Testing!
Hi I have consulted doctor online and this is what he said. I am scared as I thought I don't need testing, now with the answer I am again under stress. Please answer if with condom protected sex I need STD testing? If so when ? and what all tests need to be done. Since the last time I had sex was two months ago.
I did sex with a pros in her home 2009, had burning sensation after the next day, it subsided then 2 weeks later did it with another pros(only 2-3 strokes) both encounters with condom. tested -ve 4 hiv as per doc advice @3.5 months. Did it in april 2010 very rough sex indeed but with condom double bagging one did break when i tried to do anal with her. In march 2011 did it with call girls(myself with two girls at one time) at a friends bachelor party & the next week with the spa Turkish girl - masseuse. All with condom. Since the april 10 sex I have developed a skin disease on my arms, torso, shoulders with big blisters(not crowded but individual or in pairs). Is this HIV related or should I test in 1months time which would be 3 months from my last encounter in march or no need to test? Would this have any effect if I want to marry.
My docters suggestion: "Repeated sexual encounters with multiple partners definitely exposes one to risk of STD/HIV.As you have developed skin problem right now ,you must get all tests for STD/HIV at frequent intervals as HIV virus has long incubation periods .so test negative after one month does not mean one can`t suffer from HIV/aids.So repeated testing is required along with proper treatment,without any delay. If completely treated marriage may not be effected.I have seen wife getting HIV from husbands."

Thank you Vance for the prompt reply, the doctor consulted is a MS general surgeon,he is not a STD specialist, as i couldn't wait for the std specialist doc, What STD s should I test in specific? The online doc dint advise me that. Request you to advise as my last encounter was two months back.
