Possible exposure

[raven381]

Hello,

2 weeks ago, I had protected vaginal intercourse 2 times same night with a prostitute which just started working like this for 4 months as she told me.the thing is that we kissed not that deep kissing but we kissed and she made hickies on my neck both sides, we had protected intercourse...
When I Google if using condom is 100% safe they say no!

2 days after the incident I had sore throat on one side right side, difficulty while swallowing. No other symptom went away after 2 days and then 1 week later I had the same thing sore on left side till now it's been 4 days...

I'm soooo worried of HIV Coz they say it has symptoms of sore throat. I'm worried about condoms not being safe 100% and about kissing and about her sucking my neck maybe hikies do pass something dunno.

Please I need a good answer I'm having bad anxiety and panic

Please

Thanks

Still no risk. Nothing you have posted is any risk for HIV. You had no risk and don't need any testing.

Thanks Claire for the answer

Just to make sure one more thing,the girl gave me hickies on my neck ,I know that when U suck the skin it absorbs blood to the surface, is it dangerous for HIV?

We also kissed but only mild no deep
Thanks, I m anxious but ur answers will help

Hi there,

Your condom was not made of lambskin.  Both latex and polyisoprene condoms prevent the transmission of HIV, and that's what Durex condoms are made of.   The statement that it's not 100% effective refers to the possibility of STDs that are transmitted via skin-to-skin contact, like herpes.

Durex is the brand name

How do I know that the condom I used is not lambskin?

All I know is that it is called durex sensitive

Thanks

Those condoms are fine. And 99% effective means the possibility of breaks and tears. Also accounting the other stds like Herpies that can effect areas not covered by the condom. HIV cannot enter a a latex or durek condom. You had protected sex let it go. The only condom that's not safe is lambskin it has millions of tiny holes. Sperm won't pass through but Hiv can get in.

On the durex website,in the information page, they say latex condoms do not 100% eliminate the chance of stds,so that scares me a lot ...

Can you illustrate please

Thank you for your reply

2 things

First as I said I had sore throat 2 days later than 2 weeks later also, now it's been like 18 days since the incident.

What do U mean by latex, I used durex they say it's the best...

Can you please reply back

Thanks

Ok You did not have and exposure
1. You can not use symtoms to diagnose HIV
2. ARS does not work that fast. It takes atleast 2 weeks or 10 days
3. As long as you use latex condoms your 100% as long as your head is covered you are safe.
