Can HIV Be Contracted Through Protected Vaginal Sex?

default
Posted on Mon, 3 Apr 2017
Question: I idiotically decided to have sex with an escort she assured me she used condoms with all her clients and I used a condom during the vaginal intercourse after sex I took the condom off and threw it away. I washed my penis in the shower at the hotel and went home and took showers with antibacterial shower gel and bleach afterwards. Note: Uncircumcised and wondering what my HIV risks are? I bought a test kit today as well
