HIV after 10 seconds of brief vaginal penetration

[Bowlerb]

Hello,

I am a 36 your old heterosexual male. On nov 23 2019, I meet a girl at a bar. She is 30 and works as a teacher at a charter school. She said she was going through a divorce and was very single. I asked her if she had anything and she stated the only thing she had was a urinary tract infection. We were both drinking and one thing led to another. There was 10 seconds of unprotected sex before I realized how awful of a situation I put myself in. I want to the er and am now taking pep (38 hrs after exposure. I also got shots for chlymidia and gonarea

Can you please help me ***** my risk for hiv/stds thank you for all you do!!

Keep in mind she wasn't a 'high risk' person.  She's not in the sex trade.  However, agree that you now must get tested when the time comes post pep.  I think pep was completely overkill.  Surprised they gave it to you.  It's a hard drug to take tolerance wise (harsh side effects). So, test on the schedule they give you when you stop taking the medication.  Plus, since you got it at an ER, follow up with your regular doctor.  They may decide you don't need it and stop it.  That's probably in your best interest.

Thank you for everything your organization does and for your help. Sorry for the late reply. I just had one question. I noticed two small bumps yesterday on the underside of the head of my penis and they haven’t changed at all since noticing them. I feel some tingling but that’s it. Could this be hsv2? Or like hiv is this not a big concern for me since my contact was so brief?  Thanks!!

Unless your partner was known HIV positive person, you didn't qualify for PEP.

Unprotected vaginal intercourse would warrant testing, the soonest you can take a test is at 28 days with a IV Generation HIV test after your last dose of PEP.

You are most likely to receive a negative result for 2 important reasons:

1. Not everyone is HIV positive, there are a million chances of your partner being HIV negative.

2. It is observed very often, for a male to contract this virus from a female partner through vaginal sex is difficult, it usually takes multiple unprotected exposures for viral transmission.Your exposure was brief, in the last decade, this forum has not seen a single individual come forward to report acquiring this virus in this fashion.

You must refrain from symptom surfing on the internet until you suffice your window period because it's seen that it only makes people anxious and think in irrational ways.

If it is viable, just reach out to your partner and simply ask about her sero-status, people normally don't lie when asked directly.
