One Night Stand
hi everyone,
I was just hoping someone could give me more info on whether or not I should be tested. Last Saturday I had a one night stand with one of my friend's friends. Long story short we ended up having sex (my first time). At the time I was a little buzzed, although suffering more so from a headache. She gave me a condom, which I rolled down as far as I could. I was unable to finish so we just stopped after 20 minutes or so. I went into the bathroom to take it off (first time i've ever put one on/ had to take it off) and noticed there was some blood (more so dried) on the outside. The condom has also rolled up a bit and was only 3/4 of the way on. I pulled it off and threw it away in the trash. We ended up hanging out in the hallway for about an hour or so and I then I ended up going back to my suite. When I was in the hall I noticed some dried blood on my left hand (from fingering). I washed the blood off my hand when I got back, but didn't shower until the following morning. What are the chances I've gotten infected? Now i'm having flu like symptoms (1 week later) so I was just hoping someone could offer some insight on if there could have been transmission.

as long as the head of mr willie was covered, you had no risk...blood or no blood.
as far as blood on your hand / finger...once exposed to air, hiv becomes inactive and unable to infect.
no testing needed.
