protected sex with prostitute Posted: 05-12-08 02:41am
I had sex with 2 different prostitutes in
the same week. This is the only time I
have done something this risky. I wanted
to know what the statistical chances are
of contracting HIV using a condom. I did
wear a condom both times. As well as the
chances of contracting HIV if the
sex-worker did have HIV, what are the
chances of contracting HIV from 2
unprotected encounters if the person was
HIV positive.
Thanks for your help.

according to this study the risk is
43%....with a condom I am sure your risk
is less but still I would think about
getting tested for HIV or other STDs. The
AIDS virus will not show up in most people
for at least 3 months. There are other
sexually transmitted diseases to consider
besides HIV.
Good Luck and play safe always.
what horrible information... The study you
cite is based in Africa and seems to be a
study of the transmission of HIV from
unprotected sex encounters. The 43% you
are referring to is the transmission rate
of men with genital ulcers when having
unprotected sex with an HIV positive
person. Thanks for the information... you
should be more careful with your responses
here.

Sorry you found no useful info there. If
you think because it was in Africa and you
aren't that you are safer then thats your
prerogative.Genital ulcers or not, the
info was valid.You asked "what are the
chances of contracting HIV from 2
unprotected encounters if the person was
HIV positive. "
Good Luck.

HIV is very easy to contract sexuallyand
also very hard to contract sexually.
If you have cuts and tears on the penis
which are very hard to see, then
infection will occur. If there are no
cuts and tears and the other person is
filled with the HIV, infection will not
occur. There is no way into the
bloodstream.
It is a tricky game.
My brother's wife died of AIDS and my
brother (thanks be to God), never got it.
It is like playing the lottery.
Chances are without protection you may or
may not catch HIV. Luck of the draw.

It has only been 3 days since the last
encounter and 5 days since the first
encounter. I have a long time to wait and
worry before I can take a test that will
yield credible results.
