My question is if I have sex with condoms most of the time, what's the possibility of contracting HIV? If the man didn't ejaculate inside me during unprotected sex, do I still have possibility of contracting this disease? If he did ejaculate inside of me, but test HIV negative, is there still a possibility for me to get infected (there is a possiblity of test being wrong)?

Using condoms has halted the chance of getting HIV by up to 70% During unprotected sex, WOMEN are more likely to get HIV than men. In fact, the group with the fastest increasing numbers of HIV are WOMEN. The reason is biology. the vagina is extremely prone to rips and tears, even in very gentle sex. HIV latches on to the CCR5 co-receptor of the CD4 cell. CCR5 is very abundant in the mucous membrane vaginal lining, making WOMEN naturally more susceptible to contracting HIV. As for testing, HIV has a 6 month window period before your body starts showing any HIV antibodies. When being tested, they have you go one time, you come back one to two weeks later and get your results. Then you come back SIX MONTHS LATER to get tested again. The most common test is the ELISA test and it is over 99% accurate. But, the drawbacks is that you can be diagnosed with a false negative the first time, and then think you're in the clear. Or you can be diagnosed with a false positive and be very worried and then have to take a western blot test which is 99.6% accurate. So, I hope this helps

Condoms aren't 100% safe but if you use it properly, without having defects and valid for expiration date, it should be fine most of the times. Even not ejaculated inside, still there are chances to get HIV infection. The best way to find out is to get tested 3 months after the possible risk. HIV negative person (without having risk in the past 3 months) considered negative and you can't get HIV from HIV negative person. Negative Elisa tests are considered negative 99% and HIV Elisa positive tests need to be confirmed by Westernblot to make sure. for more information, please visit to the links below.

Most of the time in wearing condoms don't count. Be careful because that is a serious disease.

i never had sex to anybody but all i can tell you is be careful for you don't know what's gonna happen next. sometimes doubt can help because it is one way of saying 'no!'. protectec or unprotected we can't say. virus is a bacteria that we cannot see. and always remeber "prevention is better than cure"
