Broken Condom-Scared Out of My MInd!
      #130032 - 12/22/04 12:06 PM

I am a gay male who recently had sex with a man I met on the internet. While switching positions, i noticed the condom had broken ( I was the receiver). He did not ejaculate, but i did notice he had precum during foreplay. He had no doubt in his mind that he was negative. And keep reassuring me of this. I am too scared to get tested because I think I may do something drastic if the results are positive. I am so scared and would like to know how at risk I am. I know i need to get tested... but I would just like to talk to someone or get some advice from someone who has been in the same situation... I am very neurotic and cannot think of anything other than my situation... Help!

1. The condom provided you protection up until it broke, so this lowered your risk.

2. The virus is difficult to transmit.

3. No ejaculation lowers your risk.

4. Good chance he is negative. Lowers your risk.

5. One time encounter. Lowers your risk.

Summary,

I think you will scoot by this time OK. Get tested at 12 weeks for peace of mind.

cheers

Jazz is right on target as usual. chances of infection are low. get tested at 12 weeks and let it go.

Even if he ejaculated your odds are only .1 to .3% You will be fine. Go get a test at 6 or 8 weeks. let us know
