Do I Have HIV? / Re: Scared
« Last post by leatherman on Today at 06:43:46 am »In your situation, you said condoms were used each time (and condoms that fail/break tend to be easily noticed as they really fall apart), so you did NOT have a risk.
Remember to keep using condoms, and maybe consider PrEP as another layer of protection.
Have a great day,

Reducing Your HIV risks:
With no exceptions, use condoms correctly and consistently for anal or vaginal intercourse
Talk to a healthcare provider about PrEP as another layer of protection
Get tested yearly for HIV and other STIs.
If you don’t use condoms and/or PrEP, test more frequently
Some sexual practices described as safe in terms of acquiring HIV still pose a risk for other more easily acquired STIs. It is possible to show no signs or symptoms from an STI so testing is the only way to know.
Get tested at least yearly for STIs, including but not limited to HIV, and more frequently if condomless intercourse occurs.
What’s the ONLY way to know if you’ve been infected by HIV or an STI?
Get tested.
