I put a post in the health section but guess it is also relevant in this section.

"Having always considered myself a sensible person I made a major slip up and am now worried that I may have HIV. I am posting this in the hope that people will advise me that the chance of having caught it is slim.

About a month ago I slept with a man on two occassions who works in a boys bar, we used a condom first time but on the second occassion we didnt and he used the withdrawl method (stupid, I know!) Now I know that he had only been working in bars for 2 weeks but I also know that being a typical Thai man he has been to prostitutes and I dont know about the customers he had had since working in the bar. He also has a long term Japanese girlfriend who was pregnant. I keep thinking well if she had HIV she would have found out when pregnant and then again if he did have it there would be a slim chance of me getting it.

I don't expect sympathy for getting myself into this mess but I hope that people will put my mind at rest that there is little chance of me getting it."

I was just wondering if any of you ladies have been in similar situations here in Thailand?

The only way you'll know is to go and get a test. Anything else is kidding yourself. Good luck!

Just because of his work doesnt mean he automatically had HIV. Is there anything else that makes you think he does? I wouldn't worry so much until you know for sure. Go get a test and relax a little.

Multi posting is not allowed and as you have not responded to any post in the health section find it rather strange you now take it here. You have been told to have tests done. This thread is closed.
