Abrasion on Base of Penis

I recently had an encountr with a CSW in NY......I am a little worried and here is why:

She gave me unprotected oral sex
We had protected sex

I know the risks are zero but I have and had at the time a small rubbing abrasion on the base of the penis which was healing from sex a few days earlier with the wife. That abrasion was in a place not covered by the condom.

I called her and asked her what her status was and she told me she was clean and recently tested.

Should i need worry and go get tested or is this just guilt.

Thanks in advance.

I hear you.........I know the abrasion was at least 2 days old before my encounter. It is just a lil raw skin.......there was a patchy scab there that fell off in the shower the morning of my encounter or when she put the condom on......I really dont know.

As long as you think there is no need to worry.........I will end my search...........I just hope you are right.

instead of me trying to convince you that you had no risk regardless of this abrasion...i'll just tell you that any abrasion, scratch, trivial cut, etc. that was a few days old is sealed completely off due to the fact that cuts start healing from the inside out almost immediately.

you had NO risk and do not need testing.

as far as the guilt...this can lead to anxiety...anxiety will cause you to start searching the internet looking for signs and symptoms...reading about this will cause you to imagine you have those symptoms youre reading about...and in turn will cause you to post excessively regarding this NO RISK situation.  DONT

deal with the guilt...it will be easier than dealing with your fear you have contracted hiv.
