I am now 27 year old man..
I had protected sex(with condom) 3 years back with an street transgender women and don't have any symptoms till now .
Is there any chance of getting affected or should I get tested
Please see the detailed answer below...
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and I understand your concern.
As per your history you had protected sex using condom ..so no need to worry..condoms give 99. 9 percent safety against STD s unless it is broken or used incorrectly.
It is good that you don't have any symptoms..so no need to worry .
STDs spread only through direct contact of body fluids so you can be at ease..
Still watch for symptoms like sudden loss of weight, decreased immunity, frequent fever , cough episodes..etc
If you experience such symptoms then kindly get tested and consult with your physician.
Keep your self well hydrated .
Eat balanced diet.
Do yoga and meditation..
Do not think much about it and relax.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
