Hi there, Im 30 yr old male and hoping you can help me with my problem. A few months back i frequented with a few female escorts/callgirls in the UK. On both occasions i had protected penetrative sex and received unprotected oral sex. Thu unprotected oral sex had me extremely anxious and went for an Hiv Duo Test at 29 days which returned a negative result. Now last few weeks and lots of reading on internet, I am extremely worried about my exposure that it has been on my mind constantly. I feel like im going insane and regret doing what i did. It will never happen again. What are realistic chances of catching HIV this way and should i pay for another test at 3 months or have i nothing to worry about??? Thanks

Hello.

Protected hooker sex is indeed "protected," assuming the latex condoms were used properly and did not fail (break). The HIV-acquisition risk from unprotected oral sex is very low.

A negative HIV DUO Test at 29 days is encouraging, but not definitive. You will need to retest at the three-month mark or longer to get a definitive HIV-antibody test result. The statistical odds are astronomically in your favor that you did not acquire the virus from your sexperience with the UK escorts.

Good luck. Be well.
