Brief Answer:
Call your wife daily while on missions!

Detailed Answer:
HI,

I understand your worries totally. Working away from home and family is difficult. It is also impossible to ask you to always stay home with family because you need to earn money for the family. The best way to address this worry is to make sure that you stay constantly in contact with your wife. Make her understand that you really need to always talk to her while away. Do this most especially at hours that you are tempted to go and have sex with prostitutes. Having video calls and exchanging some lovely words would greatly help with this. Medications alone wouldn't help.

In all, increase communication with family and wife when away, preferably during nights hours that you are lonely and always tempted to go meet these prostitutes.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.

Brief Answer:
Condoms only protect 100% if well used!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Condoms would only protect 100% if well used. However, I will suggest that you really refrain from having sex with prostitutes as this exposes you to so much risk of contracting HIV.

I wish you well.

Brief Answer:
When was the last time you got tested!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Routine testing for HIV at least yearly for persons who have sex with persons they are not used to is recommended. If you got tested more than a year ago, it might be necessary to consider getting tested. NO just because of the sex but because HIV can be contracted through various other means as well.

I wish you well.

Brief Answer:
Too early for any testing!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Every protected sex leaves a tiny risk. However, it is so early for any testing to show any possible HIV infection from the last encounter now. My advise is that you allow this to go at least 21days.

You must take care of yourself upfront instead of taking tests to see whether you are infected or not. Refrain from having risky contacts with prostitutes.

I wish you well.

Brief Answer:
The risk is minimal!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The risk is minimal. There is actually no reason to be too worried but you must stop taking even the lightest risk as many different small risk would eventually be something huge.

I wish you well.
