hsv2 possibilities
hello doctors,
about 3 ago i had a first time sexual encounter with another male of unknown status. the whole enounter was no more than 10 minutes roughly. I was the insertive partner and i was protected for oral and anal from start to finish. I also did not perform oral on the other person. what i am worried about is hsv2 and hiv, more so hsv2. we were in a doggy style position for anal and ii had my pants partial down. They other partner had some type of erotic boxer briefs on that only exposed his anus and buttocks.so his testicles and penis were not exposed.
There was no ejaculation or condom breakage. I also filled the condom afterwards with water and there were no leaks so all was intact. My question is what are the chances of contracting hsv2 and hiv from a ontime protected exposure in general? and also from the exposure i described?
Ihave had a slight itch below my stomach right were the pubic har begins at the waisteline. I have no redness or anything and my penis is fine. i have female sex partner and I dont want to give her anything. I tried to be as safe as possible. What do you think doctor? I also had hsv2 igg herpes select test done in the past always negative for hsv2 and hsv21.

Welcome to the Forum. I presume that some of your concern is, understandably, that this was a new experience for you. I hope that my comments will help to ease your concerns. In addition, let me start by congratulating you on your commitment to safe sex- it will help to keep you healthy. In addition to condom use, for future interactions, consider asking your partner about their HIV and STD status, including when they were last tested. While this will not change the need for safe sex, it may provide additional help to you.
Your risk for getting any STD from the exposures you describe is very, very low. I will briefly tell you why.
1. You do not know that your partner had infection, most people do not. Although rates are highest amongst men who have sex with other men, HIV is still relatively uncommon. Herpes and other STDs are more common but still not too common.
2. Most STDs, including HIV are not transmitted with a single exposure. In fact for both HIV and HIS, even if your partner was infected, your risk for acquiring either of the infections is still less than 1 infection per 1000 exposures.
3. You further reduced your risk by using a condom. Condoms provide highly effect protection against all sTDs, reducing the risk of HIV by 99.9% if your partner is infected and reducing risk for HSV by at least 2/3's.
Bottom line, you are at little risk. In fact, given the nature of your exposures, I see no medical reason for testing at this time. If you continue to be active and have multiple partners, periodic (every 6-12 months) testing ("screening") is a good idea, just to be on the safe side.
Hope these comments help. EWH
