Protected vaginal sex: HIV concern

Hello,

10 days ago I had protected vaginal sex with a woman of unknown status. I never had penetrative sex before that.

During foreplay, I did not touch her vagina. I sucked her nipples.

She put a condom on me and we had penetration for less than 30 seconds. The condom did not break.

I am getting a little bit anxious about HIV. Did I put myself at risk and do I need testing?

Knowing that this episode is low risk, I need some reassurance.

Thanks!

You had protected sex.  The only way adults get HIV is from unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV drug needles.  So, this was not a risk at all.

Thank you! I need to stop being anxious and move on.

You can't get hiv when you use a condom and it only has to protect the head so you are safe. HIV is dead in air plus dead in saliva so touching and sucking are not risks. Move on, stop thinking it is "low" risk when it is zero risk, and have fun.
