Should I Be Worried For STD S Contacted During Sex If The Condom Has Burst?
I had an intercourse with a guy about two weeks ago, then again last Thursday..so Today when I get my periods I see a small piece of plastic that looks like a condom that was burst..meaning it was inside my vagina for sometime. I m worried about HIV and other std s..since I don t know his HIV status.

Hello,
I had gone through your history and understand your concern,
Damage of condom during the act of sexual intercourse is not a good thing.
Condoms are highly effective for reducing transmission of STDs. If you donot know yours partners HIV and STI status chance of getting the infection will be high.
Some of the STI will be asymptomatic without any signs or symptoms.
In fact, this happens with a lot of STIs.
Even though your partner does not have any symptoms, you're still at risk of getting the infection.
Visit your doctor on a regular basis for STI screening, so you can identify a potential infection and get treated.
Some STDs can be treated easily and eliminated, but others require more involved, long-term treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Please feel free to ask the query.
Thank you.
