Q: Contracting HIV from anal ?

asked by: mccdan on March 16th, 2009

Back at the beginning of february, me and my boyfriend were having anal sex. Well, the condom broke unfortunatley. Immediately I washed my anus and penis. Now, I haven't had any flu-like virus since, but my stomach had been upset and a common cold took place for 5-6 days. Now, I know to get tested in April/May and was wondering since my boyfriend has HIV, what are my chances of getting it? Is there a chance I might not?

It doesn't matter what the chances are...1 in a million or 1 in 5...you could be the one...numbers are just that...numbers.
Get tested.
If your boyfriend is HIV and you are not then I would suggest being extra careful every single time you have sex if you want to avoid getting HIV..
