PEP to be taken? Condom slippage
Hi,
I am very tensed and wanted some feedback. I had vaginal/oral sex with a woman. Oral sex was not protected (which i believe anyway does not cause any problem).
So, the next part is that I had vaginal sex with her which lasted for a long time. I used 3 condoms in all and while inserting for the first time (using the first condom) I had the condom intact. This lasted for long and I checked intermittently during this and it was intact on the head few times I checked. However, after sometime when I was about to put in my penis again in her vagina I found that condom was not on my penis and was on the bed. During the time it was in the vagina (first time) I never felt any sensation that the condom was not on my penis. So, after noticing that there was no condom on my penis I opened up another pack and in subsequent events the condom was always intact during the entire intercourse
I have the following concerns:
1. I went to the ER and practicing nurse (two separate occasions) they did not put me on PEP. I still have some hours before the 72hrs ends and I am concerned as I did not know when the condom slipped off that I may have contracted HIV.
2. Based on my explanation what are the chances of HIV (I asked her about her status and she said she was OK as negative HIV 2 months ago but anyway you cant trust it)
3. What kind of test would give me conclusive results at the earliest?
Very tensed, please get back to me so that I will know if PEP needs to be taken.
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks

Watch the video for the cdc recommendation for 4th gen testing. 4th gen testing is conclusive at 28 days or more post exposure. Nothing will affect your test not unless your on chmeotherapy. You will always test negative as you never had a risk. You are HIV negative. Trust your result an move on!good luck!

To add to the above info I took the 4th gen from Quest but do not know the manufacturer
Hello,
Wanted to know two things
1. Does the manufacturer of the 4 gen lead to change in the window period?
2. If I take Hep A or Flu shot will that affect my antibody oraquick blood results?

I had a qq that just popped up, it is as follows
Does 4th generation test, test for antigen for HIV-2 as well? Do HIV-2 produce antigens?
I am thinking what if HIV2 only antibody and that may not have been detected. This may be very naive but it had me wondering.
Thanks for looking into it

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.
2. No that is not a risk
