protected sex

Hello, I am a young man. I had a vaginal sex protected by a condom with a girl, and I received unprotected oral sex. Is there a need for an AIDS test?

The only risks for HIV transmission (they call AIDS actually HIV now) is to have had unprotected vaginal sex (no condom with penetration) OR unprotected anal sex (no condom with penetration) OR to share IV needles to inject drugs. Those are the only ways. A condom is a barrier and with unprotected oral, people don't get HIV that way. Air and saliva inactivate the virus. So you had no risk at all and no, you do not need to test.

Too many questions before I finish anything before...
1) Is it possible for vaginal fluid to enter from under the condom and cause injury?
2) After the aforementioned relationship, I pulled the condom and tested it with water and air. I did not notice any leakage. Is this considered safe? Also, by virtue of the cases that have passed with you, has anyone been infected despite using a condom in vaginal sex and not using it in oral sex?
What about the cdc they say from the tests that have passed
Two recent analyzes are worth highlighting. In 2015, Dr Dawn Smith and three other researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) looked at anal sex between men by analyzing the results of two studies conducted in the USA: VAX 004 (a study of 4492 men between 1998 and 1999) and EXPLORE (a study of 3233 men between 1999 and 2001). Both studies, conducted before the introduction of PrEP, recruited HIV-negative men who reported having sex with at least one HIV-positive partner.

Analysis found that among those who reported consistently using condoms (i.e. 100% of the time), condoms prevented 70% of HIV infections.
3) What about 70%?

You would KNOW if a condom broke and exposed the head of your penis to HIV, and there's no such thing as getting HIV from fluids "slipping" under the condom. You would have to have UNPROTECTED intercourse to have a risk.

70% is because condoms can break.

Move on from this event. You had zero risk for HIV.
1) Is it possible to return to my wife and practice my sexual life with her, do you guarantee me that?
2) Why did you delete my question about is there a case in which the virus was transmitted while using a condom?
Your question was removed for repetitive questioning of a non-risk event, Our members would have told you if you had a risk for HIV. No one here has any reason to comment on your relationship with your wife.

Why do they say that using a condom or without a condom in vaginal intercourse can transmit HIV infection?
Even Dr. Hook and Edward say that I should be tested.... I am married and cannot have sex with my wife. My life is ruined... and I cannot do the test because if it is revealed that I carry the virus, they deport me from the country and I lose my job? Can you explain to me why they say that contraceptives prevent pregnancy for 90 percent of the actual trials? As a conclusion, HIV can be transmitted. Please, by the site administrators, answer my questions..
What do you intend to ask for answers? I know this is none of my business.
Is it possible to have sex with my wife I am very nervous...sorry for my language I don't speak English well

Your post has conflicting ideas. You had zero risk, and should live the rest of your life with that in mind. Stop worrying about deportation, testing, a "ruined life",  or the impossible idea that you have hiv. The first step to peace is to stop googling hiv COLD TURKEY - you're not a medical researcher and won't understand much of what you have read.

I hope you didn't drag your poor wife into this fake hiv scare that you are wasting your life worrying about. Move on.
No experts do not say you should be tested if you had protected sex. Your anxiety is getting away from you. Only the head of your penis needs to be covered.  You need to let this go.
