Can HIV Be Contracted Through Protected Anal Sex?

default
Posted on Thu, 7 Jan 2016
Question: I am in Amsterdam and the other night made a stupid mistake in the red light district. I sleep with a transexual prostitute who had anal sex with me, very briefly, wearing a condom. As far as I know the condom did not break, I felt no pain and no signs of blood, she also did not ejaculate as it was for less than a minute. I am engaged and my fiancé will want to have sex with me in a matter of days. I am terrified I am at risk of an HIV infection and could not live with the idea of passing anything on to her.....

Brief Answer:
Please use condom with fiance till you get test done after 30 days

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. If you had anal sex and a condom was used then the transmission of HIV infection is unlikely.

2. The recommended test to check for HIV is rapid 4th generation test for HV 1 and HIV 2 antibodies and p24 antigen. This test is conclusive for HIV 1 infection after 30 days and you can wait till then to confirm that you do not have HIV 1 infection.

3. Please have sex using condom with your fiance till you get the test done after 30 days. Please avoid having sex with commercial sex workers and those with unknown sexual health.

Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
