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,

I'm noticing a black spot on my left index finger that's super hard, and it's got this numb feeling. There aren't any other weird symptoms going on, but I'm wondering what could be causing this. Any ideas?

The black spot on your index finger, accompanied by hardness and numbness, could be caused by various factors, including a benign growth like a wart or seborrheic keratosis, a skin condition like melanosis or acral lentiginosis, or even a more serious condition like skin cancer, so it's essential to consult a dermatologist for a proper examination, diagnosis, and appropriate treatment.
