The risk factors for sexually transmitted HIV comes from unprotected anal and vaginal sex . You used condoms so you did not have a risk for HIV and do not need to test over this specific incident .

You do not need to use more than one condom at a time . Using two condoms can actually lead to condom failure so don't do it . I will add ... the condom did not fail in this instance or you would have known it as they are designed in a way as to leave no doubt when they fail . Check out the condom and lube links at the bottom of this page for more useful information . 

Here's what you need to know in order to avoid hiv infection:

You need to be using condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, every time, no exceptions until such time as you are in a securely monogamous relationship where you have both tested for ALL sexually transmitted infections together.

To agree to have unprotected intercourse is to consent to the possibility of being infected with an STI. Sex without a condom lasts only a matter of minutes, but hiv is forever.

Have a look through the condom and lube links in my signature line so you can use condoms with confidence.

Although you did not have a risk and do not need to test for this specific incident , anyone who is sexually active should be having a full sexual health care check-up, including but not limited to hiv testing, at least once a year and more often if unprotected intercourse occurs.

If you aren't already having regular, routine check-ups, now is the time to start. As long as you make sure condoms are being used for intercourse, you can fully expect your routine hiv tests to return with negative results.

Don't forget to always get checked for all the other sexually transmitted infections as well, because they are MUCH easier to transmit than hiv. Some of the other STIs can be present with no obvious symptoms, so the only way to know for sure is to test.

Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, correctly and consistently, and you will avoid hiv infection. It really is that simple!

Paritosh,

Our role here is to assess risks which could lead to HIV infection.  You did not have a risk so our job is complete.  If you wish to find the answers to your questions, please use the information contained in the forums.  We are unable to answer questions, that do not involve potential risk, as that would limit us in serving other members who await assessments.
