Can HIV Be Contracted Through Protected Sex?

Posted on Tue, 28 Jun 2016

Question: I had sex several times (10 times) with different prostitute with protected condom more than 6 weeks ago. I did lick their vagina for less than 30 seconds, and my mouth did not have any wound (only 3 times after that I did not have oral sex with the next ones). They did lick my part too, also less than 30 seconds. After that I used condom to have sex, and always came pretty fast about 1 or 3 mins. What is the probability to have HIV from that? I went to a doctor to ask, he said I had no chance to have HIV. But now I am having a little dry cough for 5 days, not constantly but little sore throat, other than that no other symptoms are similar to HIV symptom. Please advise me, I am very stressful right now.

Brief Answer:
No risk for HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

Welcome to HCM.

You had protected sex each time with different prostitute then there is not any risk of HIV as already said by your doctor so nothing to worry at all. Dry cough with sore throat may be due to other throat infection or seasonal variation not related to HIV. Consult ENT specialist and get the expert opinion for further management.

Even though the possibility of getting HIV is very unlikely with protected sex I will suggest for monogamous relationship and avoid any unsafe sexual activity to prevent the future risk of HIV or other STD. You can also go for HIV testing to relieve your anxiety. The result will surely come in your favor so don't worry.

Thank You

Thank you so much, even I had oral sex 3 times for a very short time? There is still low chance of HIV?

These oral sex were just about 30 seconds, without protected condom.

Brief Answer:
Not risky.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

Welcome back and thanks for follow-up.

The risk of getting HIV from oral sex is very unlikely as compared to vaginal or anal sex because the human saliva contains an enzyme which inhibits the growth of HIV virus so don't get feared or tensed and move on in life happily.
