Question:
Hello there. I had sex with an prostitute two weeks ago. I used a condome while having sex. I was wondering if there is a chance for me to be HIV infected.This was the first time I ever had sex in my life. I don't have a sex partner. I think I may have to rely on the paid sex even in the future.If I use condome every time I have paid with someone whom I don't know, what are chances of me getting an std or ads.Thank you.

I’m glad you are checking this out with us. Using a latex condom correctly every time you have any kind of sex will greatly reduce the risk of infection with HIV & other sexually transmitted diseases (STD), but not eliminate all risk. It’s important to understand what factors create risk.
Prostitutes have many sexual partners, which increase their risk of becoming infected with HIV/STD. Many use drugs, they may in fact be prostitutes to pay for their addiction, which is another factor increasing their risk of HIV infection. Therefore, prostitutes are high-risk partners in terms of all STD.
HIV must get into your bloodstream to infect you, which means that each sexual activity is more or less likely to cause infection depending upon how easily the virus can enter. Any type of sexual penetration - anal, vaginal or oral – can lead to HIV/STD infection.
You didn’t say why you think you might have to rely on paying for sex in the future, but I’ll ask you to think about whether that is satisfactory to you. If it’s not, you can choose to learn more about sex and how to have a more satisfying sex life. A book I highly recommend is The New Male Sexuality by Bernie Zilbergeld, PhD.
