Hiv risk with csw

[Lj133]

Hey  I had sexual intercourse with csw using condom. I have read that risk is low or none. But is she had passed  on herpes would this change.

At this point, your question has been fully answered that you had no risk for HIV.

You don't need an expertise of a doctor or a nurse to tell you that condoms protect against transmission of STIs.

Please accept the support offered, you were never at risk for transmission. Please move on.

I know they do except gor herpes which i got from her but 2 inches above shaft. Was this herpes sore thst appearred a few days later in area not protected by condom  to far away to put me at risk for hiv? Or is hiv only transmitted in uretha? I have been careful all my life but this scared me. Does it make any difference if female was hiv pos andhad high viral load do to shedding of herpes? Or condom protects even with high viral loads

NO.  There is no "what if" question that you can ask that would make this a risk for HIV.  A condom that does not visibly break open and expose the head of your penis during intercourse offers full protection.

There are  no doctors on this site anymore.  However, you can read NUMEROUS threads that are archived on this site, that have been answered by a doctor, just like yours, and they all said "zero risk."  There is no need to ask a doctor about this no-risk event.

Do you have any links? Sorry to ask are you a nurse or have medical background?

Condom sex is safe sex... this is not low risk... its zero risk for hiv.. u r safe...

[Lj133]

Yes i understand that but i got herpes in this incident so this increases my risk.. i want to know how much and should i test?

[CurfewX]

You cannot increase a zero risk.  Herpes only increases the risk where a risk exists in the first place.  Even if herpes doubles the risk, zero risk x2 = 0.  You had no risk and there is no reason to test for a disease you were never exposed to.

[Lj133]

Yes but even if the csw was more infectious due to hsv with increases hiv viral load will condom protected sex still be 100% effective? In other words will high viral load hiv make any difference in condom protecred sex?
