Am i in danger?
hallo!
I am 36 years old and i have a relationship the last 6 months with someone i know from my past.
All of our csexual contacts so far were fully protected with condom, because in the past around 18 yeasrs old, with my first boyfriend i had an abortion and am extremely careful with those issues, as well am having intense phobias about diseases.
Almost a month ago we had unprotected anal sex without ejaculation for 3 minutes, then we proceeded with vaginal sex with condom.
I dont have any symptoms except extent heart beat, that i feel that am going to hurt my heart with so much stress.
I asked him if i can trust him and he ansewered that he doesnt have HIV or any other dangerous disease.
Please tell me am i in danger?

PLEASE..
Dear Teak,
as far as my one anal intercourse with my boyfriend (for the last eight months), he is a straight man and when we discussed about his hiv status he assured me that he is negative.
I read a lot about anal sex, being on top of risky behaviours and I am feeling bad.
Thank you.

Thank you for your answer.
So, you think that until this 3 month period I should worry?
Because I have intense heart beating, and being so scared..
My boyfriend is straight and when I asked him about his status he answered he is negative.
meanwhile am thinking of seeking professional help about my phobias.

Unprotected anal sex IS a risk, although probably not a significant one, being that you're in a long term relationship. Do you guys test together periodically? That's always a good idea if you're going to be having any unprotected sex, vaginal or anal.
I wouldn't worry too much about it, a test at 3 months post exposure would be conclusive, you could also go and test with your BF to give you some peace of mind. Unless he's an IV drug abuser, or has sex with other men, he wouldn't be a high risk partner to begin with.
Now, to your phobias and irrational thoughts about sex and diseases....you need to seek out some professional help for that.
