My sex partner is having sex with many other girls, what's the risk of me having HIV?

Question

The last time I slept with my sex partner was 3 month ago. He had multiple sex partners... and hookers too ( i didn't know until later)

HE NEVER USES CONDOM!

I'm really afraid he might have HIV... and I might have it too.
Am I thinking too much or I REALLY need to get tested?

I wanted to get tested a long time ago, but the doctor I usually go to is my mom's friend. I'm afraid she might know. I have a question, is there any other place other than medical clinics that? Like a testing center or something... I live in New York >.<"

I did many stupid things... answering to the people who are curious about me might get preganant... I'm UNABLE to have a child...

Answer 1

you really have to ask????
get your butt off the get a test done you silly female!!!!!
why didn't you insist on a condom when with him? Not just HIV to worry about.So get the full works tested pronto. Oh and have you never thought you could get pregnant either??

How can you be so foolish in this day and age with all the information.

Answer 2

Ok, having sex with someone you don't know is a stupid move no matter what their choice of profession is, prostitution on the other hand is out right dangerous usually, these people have sex with multiple "partners" as many times a day as they can fit in, if any of them are carrying any STD there is a good chance that the prostitute will pick something up sooner or later, even in states like Nevada where Prostitution is legal with monthly licensing and check ups it's still not perfect and you still have an increased chance of contracting something you didn't pay for, its best to only have sex with a partner you're in a relationship with.

Answer 3

Hi Jin,

The fact that you are asking should be enough of a heads up to go get tested for all stds not just HIV. You've said that you have not slept with him for three months. As long as you have not had sex with anyone in the past three months, especially unprotected, than that's fine timing wise for the HIV test. It takes time for the body to develop the antibodies. For the vast majority of those who will test positive, antibodies to HIV will develop within 4-6 weeks after exposure. Some will take a little longer to develop antibodies. To make certain that you receive a reliable test result, it's necessary to wait at least three months (13 weeks) after your last possible exposure to the virus before being tested.

Further, with the other stds out there, sometimes there are no symptoms and a person does not know that they are in fact carriers of the disease. He could have easily picked up something and passed it on to you without either of you knowing. Also, not all stds require intercourse for infection to occur; some stds, like syphilis, only need close proximity to an infected persons, genitals, anus or mouth for transmission.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Well I feel really sad for you that you were with a guy that slept around. More than likely he has something - especially being with hookers and having unprotected sex.

Get tested. Call your insurance provider and find out which gyno you can go to or center to get tested for an STD. Alternatively, there has to be a center for STD testing, these are usually funded by the state.

Good luck.

Answer 5

I hate to discourage you, but up at 40% of hookers in Manhattan have the virus. Most don't tell their customers.

Get checked out now. HIV isn't the only thing you have to worry about. If you've caught something, the sooner you catch it, the better.

But keep testing for HIV until you're 6-8 months from the last time you slept with him. It often takes that long for the virus to show up.

Answer 6

You could be in serious danger. This is not a light-hearted matter. Get tested ASAP & have another test in about a year to make sure in case this test is too soon to pick up the virus. Stop having casual sex & get a steady partner & also use condoms. Thats the only way to prevent you from getting aids besides not having sex at all.

Hi, I don't know where you are from..but in some parts of Canada we have sexual health centers where they will screen for HIV...but HIV is not the only sexually transmitted disease..Hep B is more cantagious....Contact a nurse in the public health system and she can direct you to where testing is available....but you need more than HIV full STI work up and a pap....Don't sleep with anyone unless they wear condoms...they are not worth it.

Answer 8

HIV transmission between heterosexual partners is not automatic, but not rare either - it is about 20% (see reference).

So, yes, I think you should do two things:

- Get an HIV test for your peace of mind. Chances are you're negative.
- Eliminate this "sex partner" from your life. Promiscuous behavior coupled with lack of condom use is a recipe for disaster. Promiscuity is unhealthy in this day and age as it is, but this - the mind is boggled.

Answer 9

Yes, the chances of you having it dramatically increases. You can get other STD's too, get tested, and you might want to use a rubber next time.

Answer 10

Sexually transmitted microorganisms vary widely in size, life cycle, symptoms, and susceptibility to available treatments. Bacterial sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) include syphilis, gonorrhea, chancroid, lymphogranuloma venereum, granuloma inguinale, and syndromes caused by chlamydia, mycoplasma, and ureaplasma infections. Viral STDs include genital and anorectal warts, genital herpes (see Herpesviruses: Mucocutaneous infection), molluscum contagiosum (see Viral Skin Diseases: Molluscum Contagiosum), and HIV infection (see Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)). Parasitic infestations that can be sexually transmitted include trichomoniasis (caused by a protozoan), scabies (caused by a mite—see Parasitic Skin Infections: Scabies), pediculosis pubis (caused by a louse—see Parasitic Skin Infections: Pubic lice), amebiasis (see Intestinal Protozoa: Amebiasis), and giardiasis (see Intestinal Protozoa: Giardiasis). Many other infections not considered primarily to be STDs, including candidiasis, salmonellosis, shigellosis, campylobacteriosis, hepatitis A, B, and C, and cytomegalovirus infection, can be transmitted sexually.
