Is it worth testing for HIV?

[fastyman]

Hello,

Nearly 2 weeks ago I went away on a trip and found myself in s massage parlour that does more than massages. She put a condom on me but as soon as I went in her the condom broke! I wasn’t in there for more than 3 to 5 seconds if that! We both realised what happened immediately so I pulled out she wiped the tip of my penis and went tried again with no problems this time. Is it worth me testing for HIV?

Hello,

Thank you very much for your reply! You have put me at ese 98% for that 2% am going to test just for peace of mind at the right time. Ive got the kit to send to the lab which states to test 45 days after the even. I am fully expecting it to come back negative its just so I can completely relax.

Thank you again!

I'm not sure where you got 98%/2%, but even a full-on unprotected vaginal intercourse event with an HIV+ partner only carries an 0.04% risk for the male - which means a 99.96% of NOT getting HIV.  That was just for your future education.  You really didn't have any risk here, but I do understand wanting to test for peace of mind.

First point If she puts condom on you this means she does not have hiv and she is worried to be infected from you by hiv and mostly she does same with others .
Second point 3-5 seconds unprotected vaginal sex is very short time to get infected by hiv .
It is not 0 risk but extrely low risk exposure .
Take Ag/Ab hiv at 4 weeks post exposure till that time alwes keep busy and try to not think about this exposure.

Thank you for the response. If I think logically am sure am ok. This is all assuming that she had HIV in the first place she may not have had it. It is low risk but I will be testing anyway just for peace of mind

Thank you

I had the exact same thing happen to me.  Same amount of time and everything.  Except that she didn’t want to continue after she saw it broke.  Wiped me down and all, just like you.  

I got PEP prescribed.  I am not understanding how this is “no risk.”  We both inserted ourselves in, with a condom, but it immediately broke.  Meaning we were unprotected.

Yeah this is my thing to. I have read a few answers on here saying that its no risk but I was under the impression of if you are exposed even a little bit then you are at risk. Like you am confused. Very confused

It has to go down your urethra to infect which is hard to do, like pushing water back into a garden hose. During a 5 second episode of intercourse it is virtually impossible for that to happen. hiv is dead in air so when you pulled out, it doesn't matter how much hiv is on your penis because it's all dead and can't infect.

It is not zero risk exposure, but it is very, very low risk . Even in complete vaginal penetrative sex it is low risk, so logically, in such brief penetration, it is very, very low risk exposure.

Thank you all very much for taking the time to respond to me.

I know that it is a high possibility that she didn’t have HIV in the first place but when stuff like this happens people well I did anyway tend to go for worst case scenario.

Thank you all
