Worried about HIV
Hi I'm a 32 female, I was see a guy for a few months and we had unprotected sex. I now worry I have HIV. He is not a drug user or gay/bi. He has told me he had unprotected sex with a girl before me that he was seeing for a few months and she has had 2 long term boyfriends before him. I'm really worried cant sleep or eat tillI get I my test results next week I cant wait that long I'm losing my mind. What are the chances of me catching HIV?

Hello
"What are the chances of me catching HIV"
If your partner was HIV negative as is likely then you have no chance of catching HIV. He has to have it to stand any chance of passing it on.
Otherwise, if he was HIV positive then your chances would be around 1 in 1000.
The only way to know is to have an HIV test and I would encourage other STD checks as well.
The next thing to do is to use condoms.
