What Are My Chances Of Getting HIV From Unprotected Sex?

I had sex about 6 months ago and I am seeing someone new now. I had unprotected sex a couple of times more than 6 months ago but all times the guys always pulled out. To my knowledge, I never saw any signs like a rash or an illness. I took an at home HIV test where you swab your gums and it stated I was negative. I am still nervous about getting this disease. What are my chances?

First of all as your friend I will say unprotected sexual intercourse is the most common route of transmission of HIV so avoid such kind of practices as much as you can. Secondly, as you had told the guys always pulled out and the test for HIV is also negative so chances of getting an infection are very less. Still, I suggest you to go for repeat testing with HIV RNA PCR to be 100% sure about your status.
