Worried about an exposure
Dear friends. Had protected vaginal sex with prostitute in india. Comdom did not break. Just one problem. When i put condom on my penis first i put it in wrong way. The other side. I corrected my mistake took out the condom put it in correct way and then started sex. Just wondering if my risk has increased due to wrong putting of condom first. Plse advise.

As an adult, the only risks for HIV are:
1) having unprotected, penetrative vaginal or anal sex, or
2) sharing IV drug needles with other IV drug users.
No one has contracted HIV in the way you describe. HIV transmission only happens INSIDE the body - when an unprotected penis is inside a vagina or anus (or by sharing IV drug needles, and I assume you aren't doing that).
You had zero risk and do not need to test.

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
