I had protected sex with two commercial
sex workers around 8 and 11 weeks ago. I
used condom on both the occasions and the
commercial sex workers told me that they
are tested for STDs every three months.
In both the encounters, I had intercourse
for almost 3-4 minutes each. I did not cum
in the condom as I got scared and they
gave me hand jobs on both the occasions.
In the second instance, while I was having
vaginal intercourse, I think the condom
broker as I decided to check and rolled
off condom and I could feel slightly
sticky rubbery substance on my shaft.
During the last 4-5 weeks, I think I have
been having a tender skin inside my mouth
and I have had 1-2 small lesions in the
mouth for one night. I have also been
diagnosed with eczema due to red scrotum
and bacterial infection of genitals. The
cream given to me by my GP seems to be
working but the scrotum redness is taking
time to go away. I also have two small red
pimples on my chest which I developed
yesterday. I have had 1-2 rashes on my
chest and legs for a duration for
approximately one hour.
COULD I HAVE HIV ??? Do I need to get
tested?
And would anyone know whether Holland has
a facility for anonymous HIV testing.
I am really worried .. could someone help
???

If a condom breaks, then there is no
protection meaning that you can get
anything that the other person has.
For your own peace of mind and to know
what is ailing you, I suggest that you
wait 3 months and test for HIV but right
now, get tested for STDs. Tell the that the condom
broke.
I am sure there is anonymous HIV testing
in Holland. Check the phone book.
I wish you well

Mson is right you have to get tested for
all STD's and I am sure Holland must have
some anonymous testing centers. But
remember when you get tested at 3 months
you have to get tested again 6 months
after your last possible exposure. This is
mostly because there have been some people
who test positive even after the 3 month
point.
unknown. Do you know any case 3.mounth
negative and after 6.mounth hiv.
I search the information. No one in USA
after 3.mounth turn negative till 2004.
Some doctor's said that if you havent any
ill. 3.mounth is conclusive.
Many case be seen in 6.weeks some of them
3.mounth.
What do you think of it?

Thats very true sinandour, most HIV
infected people are caught within 3
months, I don't know of anyone personally
who tested positive after 3 months though.
However, there have been a handful of
people who have tested positive after 3
months. I believe doctors suggest a 6
months test simply because it is
"possible" to test positive after 3 months
but it is HIGHLY unlikely. I myself have
to get my 6 month test in about 3 weeks
now which I'm scared about. Also remember
human error can occur with anything,
including an HIV test, so a 6 month
confirmatory test is a good idea.
yes but I think it is lat date. Some
doctor said 12. mounth some of them is
18.mounth. But I think it is not true
3.mounth 95%
6.mounth 99.9% (If risk is very high)
There is no case after 3.mounth. in USA
till 2004.
If you are healty. 3.mounth is conclusive.

Well HIV can take years to make you sick
so you might not even notice within the
first 3 months. Getting tested for HIV is
a personal decision but if you think your
at risk getting tested at 6 months is a
good idea.
that the condom
broke.
