how high is my risk?
In November, 2008 i had a negative hiv test after about 4 months of possible exposure so i felt good about that. On December 4th, 2008 i had anal sex with another man (i received) and i also got rimmed for about 5 minutes. he had a condom on for about 10 minutes during anal penetration but it slipped off so he penetrated me with no condom for about 2 minutes. i was unaware that the condom was off because the position we were in did not allow me to see the condom had been taken off. when i did find out i told him we were done and he did not ejaculate. i asked him if he was hiv negative and std free and he said yes. immediately i went into the bathroom and wiped and there was no sign of blood or semen. then i took a shower and cleaned pretty well. i have had sex with this man 5 other times all which were bareback and i was receiving anal each time. The last time we had sex was in november 2007. given all the factors, am i at high risk?
From above, you didn't contract from your "barebacking", as evidenced by your Nov 2008 test, which was 3+ months after your last risk. Regarding the Dec 4 encounter, you had a risk. Test at 6 weeks, then 12 weeks for conclusive. Until then only practice oral (yes, condom protected sex is safe provided the condom doesn't, but they call it a failure b/c it is unexpected)
Dude, people don't need anymore paranoia in their lives - especially not concerning things as serious as HIV infection - stop promoting peoples worries and get on with your life.
no im asking am i at high risk for my last incident with this man which was on december 4th 2008. if u read back i said he rimmed me and we had sex for 10 minutes with a condom on and about 2 minutes with no condom. he said he is hiv negative. i was just stating that i have had sex with this man 5 other times in which a condom was not worn. the last time i received bareback from him was in november 2007 and i have had 2 negative hiv tests since then.. the last one coming in november 2008.
