I have been a lurker for some time to try and get some facts about whether I was at risk of infection and how much.

I wanted to pop in to thank you all for your good advice to people and for putting up with so many "am I infected" notes.

My story is simple,  I had sex with a working girl with a condom.  Before we had sex the second time she jumped onto me and I was unprotected for two thrusts and I removed her and protected myself accordingly.   It felt good and I know why so many men just at that stage think wtf, I'll be ok.

Since then I fell ill, convinced myself it was the infection of HIV but again, you guys helped me through this.
Today was a very tough day - I got tested this morning after waiting for some time and got my results this evening.  Whatever the result I was going to post.

So, I am negative, but hopefully this time will learn to control my anatomy before someone else does.

I will continue to lurk and will look to help others the way I have been helped.

So thanks to you all.  8)

I'm very glad you tested negative and that you are so committed to consistently using condoms. Way to go!

Cheers.
