Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had sex with my office colleague 15 days back, and he looks healthy and happy, but within two weeks of that incident, I got a cold, fever of 99.8 Fahrenheit, sore throat, toothache, and severe cough like never before. I am very scared. I got my period four days after sex. I am worried about HIV(Human Immunodeficiency Virus). I asked him if the condom was intact and not broken. He said it was all intact, and I should not be worrying about HIV. Still, I am getting paranoid.
Please advise.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query and can understand your concern.
If the condom was intact, then there is nothing to worry about. Nevertheless, you can go for HIV testing at four weeks.
Please let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thanks for the reply, but how to know if the condom was intact? I saw there was cum in the condom and I even got periods on my due date though I have not had any oral contraceptive. So does that mean I did not get any of his semen inside me?
Kindly assist.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Getting the period on the due date does not indicate that the sex was protected. If you have checked the condom properly, then you can rely upon it or otherwise, you can ask for HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) testing of your partner.
I hope I have answered your query.
Please let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Thank you, doctor.
I got periods, but I did not take any oral contraceptive, which means his semen did not go inside me, and the condom acted as a barrier. I am not too sure whether the condom was intact or not. I could only say it did not have any spillage on the bed or over me but my vagina was all wet not sure if it was his or mine liquid and when he took out I saw it was half filled. Please help me as I am in great worry, and he is not even taking me seriously, and laughs when I put my query to him.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Not every unprotected intercourse results in pregnancy. So it is pointless to say that the absence of pregnancy means the absence of semen. In case of confusion, testing is recommended; you can ask him to go for testing. If he is being intimate with you, he should take responsibility and actively support you by understanding and helping ease your stress.
Please let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you.
