[Question #12576] Protected Vaginal Sex

6 months ago

Hi Doctor,

I have done my last test on July and it was negative. After this I met 2 women. I did vaginal protected sex with first women 3 times and all the time condom wear from starting to end. Condom is checked after sex with water filling and there was no leak. I am 100 % sure the I have checked condom each time in bathroom and it’s not leaked.I don’t know the status of womend. But both are model. Is there any risk of HIV ?

Welcome to the Forum. Thanks for your confidence in our service. I'll be glad to comment. The exposures you describe are virtually no risk. It is statistically unlikely that your partners had HIV and condom protected sex is safe sex and long as the condom is worn throughout the encounter and does not break. I see no reason for concern and no scientific reason to test.

For your information, the "water test" is a waste of time. When condoms fail, they break wide open leaving no doubt that they failed. I would not worry. EWH
