Question : i had a sex with sex worker yesterday by using Condom, this is the first time i had sex with sex worker , did i affect from HIV ? i have a wound in my back side of my leg, i lie down in sex worker place did any infection in that bed affect me for HIV?
Brief Answer:
Not likely
Detailed Answer:
Hi there
The fact is that for HIV to be transmitted, the sex worker should have it first
There is no guarantee that she had HIV
It is a professional hazard for them, not a professional qualification
second, the HIV is spread through body fluids
So if her body fluids did not come in contact with your wound, transmission is unlikely
Third, and this is a less important factor, HIV transmission is more successful from males to females, and less so from females to males.
And fourth, you used a barrier method. So that low risk is further negated.
SO I think the risk of transmission of HIV is less possible
Best of luck
