I recently had vaginal sex with an HIV-positive sex worker, and I used a condom throughout. I'm confident the condom didn't break, and I ejaculated into the condom, not her vagina. The sex wasn't very rough, and I didn't see any blood in her vagina. What are the chances I could have contracted HIV from this encounter? Should I get tested, or am I safe because it was protected sex? I'm really looking for some advice here.

With condom use and no visible signs of damage or blood, the risk of HIV transmission is extremely low, estimated at less than 1 in 100,000, so you are likely safe,
