Hi ... i come from a small country of 600.000 citizens ... in our population it is registered only 100 HIV positive people... but still,knownig that it might sometimes take even years to express first simpthoms,i`m very worried,cause,how many people is not even aware or doubting ... i had unprotected sex with some partners ... and i`m scared to death now... here,people are not as much aware of HIV as of pregnancy risk ... so,a small nuber of people do the test ... I know the only way i can know for sure is to take a test ... and i`m doing it next week ... and i don`t know how can posting this question even help,but still,until the test,i think maybe a few words would help my mental state ... thank u.Which are the chances i have it???
I agree with the above posting. If the % of people who have it is low, the % of contracting it would be low. Get tested and be free of the anxiety.
Your in a low risk area for starters, So that gives you a lower risk. Where HIV is more popular the chance that your partner would have it would be 1 in 1000 and if you had unprotected sex with an infected individual your chance of getting it is 1 in 1000 for vaginal intercourse and higher for unprotected anal sex. These numbers are for "Single exposures" and you have had more than one episode it looks like which raises you risk some. With saying that you are at risk and will need testing to confirm. Test at 3 months for a 100% test result. My bet is you will be fine!
Best wishes!
