STD anxiety

Hello. Fist of all, let me apologize in advance for my English. Since English is not my first language, I will probably make a few mistakes, so I’m keeping it super simple and short.

I’m gay and two days ago I (as the bottom one) had protected sex with an escort. I even asked him to put on the condom for the oral sex just to keep it super safe (for both of us)

The thing that keeps me up at night is that he used his saliva as lube and because he was a bit rough, I got very small wounds in my anal area.

I am going to get tested in a month or so for everything, but the fact that I might have gotten something like HIV or Hepatitis is really troubling me.

I will be waiting for your feedback and thanks in advance for the advice you can give me.

El virus VIH se transmite por la sangre y los fluidos sexuales, y debe estar presente en alta cantidad para producir infeccion. La saliva no esta entre los fluidos corporales con capacidad de transmision del VIH. De hecho, contiene unos doce agentes bioquimicos que inactivan al virus.

Si tu encuentro sexual fue protegido segun cuentas aqui, no hay nada de que preocuparse. Los preservativos protegen, a no ser que se rompan, y en ese caso lo hubieras notado, y tu pareja tambien. Si no se rompio, no hubo contacto entre la mucosa de su glande o sus fluidos sexuales y tu mucosa rectal, por lo que no hubo riesgo y por ello no hay necesidad de test alguno.

Lo que si le recomendaria es que, si usted mantiene relaciones sexuales con parejas casuales a las que no conoce, seria bueno examinarse periodicamente de todas las ets, para asegurarse de que todo esta bien. Y asi deberia ser si usted usa siempre proteccion.

Mis mejores deseos.

Gracias por tu respuesta. Además agradezco de que haya sido en español.

Ya le comenté del caso a mi doctora y este fin de semana inicio el proceso de pruebas de todas las ets. Para el caso del vih debo esperar un tiempo más, sin embargo quiero ir descartando otras posibilidades.

Como comenté, no hubo rotura del preservativo, sin embargo si hubo un ligero desgarro anal que si entró en contacto con la saliva del chico.
Los mantendré informados.

Gracias nuevamente
Hello to you all once again.

So, here’s the situation. I took my fist Elisa 4th generation (hiv and p24) test 10 days after the date and the results were 0.30 (negative). But I also retook the test last week, 21 days after the event, and the results were 0,50 (negative). I do not know how to feel about this increase in the number. At this rate, could the number reach to 0,90 or plus when I take the test again?
Let me know what you think about this and thanks again for your help!

HIV is inactive when it's exposed to the air. You are safe.

Hi!
Thanks for your response.
Being so anxious as I am right now, it’s quite reassuring to know all this things. I really thought i knew about hiv until I joined this forum.
As I told dragonpulse, I will keep you posted once I get all my results back from the lab.
Hace a great night!

Hello you guys. I know it’s something probably people ask a lot of times and I have read the answers you have posted on similar questions, however, I am only asking because even though hiv can’t be passed by saliva, I do not know for sure whether or not he had cuts or open wounds inside his mouth.

I will be waiting for your response and thanks again guys.
