How Is HIV Contracted?
Question: 5 days ago i had sex with cuban sex worker in xxxx .
It was protected until i felt the condom break
As soon as it happened i pulled out and ran to the bathroom and went to pee i rinsed my penis with
Listerine mouth wash rightaway few minites later i washed my penis with antibacterial hand sanitizer.
Overall i think my penis was expossed for maybe
5-10 seconds untill i figured out there is a problem ,
Also i was into intoxicated at that time .
If she had HIV ( which she claimed she does not )
Was this exposure not significant enough to transmit the virus ? Is this a fairly low chance for transmision ? How about other std's ?
Im little woried , please help and clarify.
When can i tske HIV rna test best ?

Brief Answer:
The risk of transmission of HIV and getting other STDs is low in your case.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM.
The risk of transmission of HIV along with getting of other STDs is low even when the girl was HIV positive because the sex was protected and the exposure was for only few seconds after breaking of the condom so don't worry much about that.
First of all, try to find out whether the girl was positive for HIV or not so that all your doubts get cleared at once. You can go for HIV RNA PCR or 4th generation HIV Duos test after 15 days of exposure to get the reliable result.
Thank You

It is impossible for me to find out if she was or was not hiv positive.
My only hope is that she was indeed telling me the truth .
After the incident, i put on a new condom and finished the job . I read on line that hiv rates in Cuba are very low , a specially
Amongst the Straight women .
Thank you for your answer
