Is this a risk event?

[corrab2021]

Hello,

I hooked up with a guy recently as a top. We used a condom but the thing is that when I was putting it on, I tried for a good 5 to 10 seconds to roll it on in reverse, and it wouldn't go on. Then I realized it was on the wrong way and flipped it around. Afterward the condom appeared intact. I am just concerned that the pressure from trying to put it on backwards could have caused tiny tears that would allow me to get infected. I know the risk here must be low but is it low enough that there is no need to get tested?

Thanks

Good, I'm glad you have relaxed!

I'm so glad you used a condom.  You were protected.  Only the head of your penis needs to be protected.  Condoms don't really get little tears. They rip wide open. So, you'd have noticed if there was a tear. And again. ONLY the head of your penis needs to be covered to prevent HIV.  So, glad you wore the condom and I would not worry about this event.  the only risks for HIV are unprotected vaginal or anal se or sharing IV drug needles.

Micro tears are a myth. If a condom fails it is a large rip down the seam and it hangs in tatters and is hard to take off. No need for close inspections or messy water tests either.
