Can one get HIV from protected sex with no condom failure?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 24-year-old male. I had six times protected sex with a prostitute. I had used a condom all the time, and it was not broken or slip off. At all the time, I used to do vaginal intercourse merely half a minute. After that, I remove my part and masturbate. I have not ejaculated inside. Then after masturbation, I used to remove my condom. But now I am worried about my status. In my scenario, may I have been infected with HIV(Human immunodeficiency virus)? Please help me to get out of this guilt, and overthinking is killing me.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Even though there is a higher than normal incidence of HIV infection in workers in the sex trade, the fact that you used a condom, does make the risk that you contracted the HIV virus very low and unlikely. In my experience, however, I have found that patients will only truly relax or have their concerns completely alleviated when they have themselves tested. A rapid HIV test requires a very quick finger prick that can be done almost at any primary health care clinic, and results are available within a few minutes. This will give you documented proof of your status and is the only way to put your concerns at rest once and for all conclusively.
