Can STD Be Contracted Through Unprotected Sex?
Question: Hi i recentley had unprotected sex with a prostitue in uk she is from eastern europe she says she has nothing and looked clean and was only for five minutes what are the chances of me getting a std ? I know it was a stupid move.
Brief Answer:
High risk
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
Yes you did a high risk behavior. If you had sex without a condom then you are definitely at risk for an STD Despite how one appears the chance of getting an STD from a sex worker is high. Since sex workers are not regulated and required to have regular testing there is a great danger of becoming infected. I recommend that you seek your medical provider to have the full STD workup including HIV.
If you used a condom then there is less risk especially for HIV I still would be fully tested.
I realize this is not what you wanted to hear but this is the best advice I can give you.
I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
