 Hi there: Yes you were at risk for HIV. Having unprotected penetrative sex (vaginal or anal) poses a risk for HIV transmission. As the insertive partner, your risk was lowered, but there was still a risk. An HIV test at 90 days will give you a definitive answer. In the future, please remember that next to abstinence, using a condom for each and every act of penetrative sex is the best way to protect yourself against HIV and other STD's. In health, Richard | ||||||||
