What Are The Chances Of HIV Transmission Through Protected Sex?
Question: Sir I had protected sex on 31st XXXXXXX with a CSW she used two condoms I did vaginal sex but no ejaculation occurred,there was no break in condom as I remember,I'm scared now plss can u tell me that if hiv/253657?iL=true" >aids comb test after 4 weeks can detect hiv or not what should I do
Brief Answer:
Having protected sex saves from HIV
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question .This is Dr Matin and will be answering your question.
Though two condoms at one time are not advised for protection (more chances for being broken) , but if they (condoms) did not break or slip , then there is almost negligible chance for getting you HIV and naturally you will not require a HIV test.
One thing is important here to know here that HIV is acquired from an infected person and here we assuming on our own that the CSW in question was an infected person already, without knowing her status and HIV can't be judged from the physical appearance or the symptoms per se.
Hope it helps.

Brief Answer:
You are an HIV negative person
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question. As explained before , you did not need an HIV test once your condoms were not broken or slipped. Any way , as per protocol one does need to do an HIV test at baseline and another at 90 days of exposure for a diagnosis. So you need to go for another test at 12 weeks after exposure i.e 8 weeks after the first test you took.
No , on the contrary is true. the probability of transmission of HIV from unprotected sex is less from male to female and not female to male.
Because more genital surface area of a woman comes in contact with male genital area, may cause mucosal abrasions due to friction or less lubricated state ,and most important the semen remains in contact with the vaginal area for a longer period of time.
Hope this helps.

Thanku for your help sir it's helpful
one last question sir is that also true that one sexual encounter is enough for transmission but it carries very less risk for transmission.
I mean repeated sexual exposure are usually responsible for transmission

Brief Answer:
Yes, it might be possible
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question.
Yes, even one single unprotected sexual encounter might be sufficient to cause HIV transmission, but usually this is not the case as the probability of getting HIV through unprotected sex could be anything between 0.1 --1 % depending upon the mode of sexual act, meaning thereby that out of 100 to 1000 unprotected exposures, one will get this disease. Here one person out of 100 or 1000 persons , may get HIV, naturally there are more chances of HIV acquisition if there are more sexual encounters.
Hope it is useful.
