Question for any doctors out there.

My boyfriend and I have an exclusive relationship and have been together for about a year now. We've been having bareback sex for most of the time we've been together. He's my very first partner and he's had others before but he's negative.

So, could any of us get infected with any STD's or worst, HIV considering the sitation I just mentioned.

Thank you.:wave:

BTW: I am not asking for unwanted hate related comments here.[-X[-X[-X Just plain FACTS that are relevant to my concern. I don't know which doctors in my area specialize in this field, so please let's just stick to my concern.

Thank You. Again.:wave:
 
I am not a doctor, but I have been in healthcare for 21 years. The short answer is YES you are at risk of sexually transmitted diseases. (as is any sexually active person)

The most common STD is the Herpes Virus. Other STDs caused by common bacteria such as chlamydia and gonorrhea are out there. The HIV virus is not very resiliant outside the human body but exposure may not result in a positive test early in the infectious process.

The sure thing to do is to practice safe sex and both of you should have regular HIV and STD testing.
 
Condoms don't protect you from most STDs. Condoms will protect you from HIV.

HIV will not show up on a test for up to 6 months after exposure. Some people get flu like symptoms and don't realize that is a sign of infection.

You and your partner need to get tested. And even after that, if you guys skip the condoms, you must 100% trust eachother to be monogamous.

Don't forget, all it takes is for one of you to play touchy feely at the gym sauna with a stranger to bring home crabs or herpes.

Same with HIV. Sharing a Dildo can pass the virus, so there are many ways you can get infected.

As for AIDS? That comes long after you get HIV. Today you can live a long time (decades) on meds before AIDS can develope. But the Meds suck and can cramp your lifestyle, so you still don't want to risk it.
 
Thank You Hartford. We are 100% monogamous. I just want to know if we could still infect each other even if we are monogous and have a 100% exclusive and closed relationship.

I am still in the process of looking for a doctor but while I do that perhaps there are doctors here or medical experts who could help me out. I appreciate all those who are taking their time sharing their knowledge.
 
I am not a doctor but common sense seems to say to me that NO you are NOT at risk in what you say is "your situation". If you both have been checked out for all stds and hiv and everything comes back clean, than you cannot give something to someone(or receive something from someone)that is not present. Now if either of you isn't going to be 100% monogomous, than the answer is different, but that wasn't your question. I do believe that there is a risk for urinary tract infections not considered necessarily std's but not 100% sure on that.

Have fun as long as you both are monogomous!
 
IF you are both clear of all STD's AND are exclusively monogamous then no there is no risk of STD transmission from you practices. These two requirements are the important point though. I strongly advise patients like you that they should have safe sex until theyve had two full STD screens 3 months apart and I recommend that they make their appointments together in order to ensure open honesty with the results. If both screens come back clean there is effectively no risk IF the relationship remains exclusively monogamous. In life there is always risk, you cant get out of bed (in fact you cant even stay in bed) without it, you need to decide what the level of risk you are comfortable with as you will never be able to protect yourself from all risk. In my case after getting another doctor to do all these tests my partner and I decided we wanted to have unprotected sex. I acknowledge there is a risk one or both may slip up and put both at risk but we all have to decide which risks we protect ourselves from and which ones are worth the risk to be closer to each other.

Just wanted to clear up two points from hartford guys post. The majority of positive patients will test positive on modern tests one month after exposure the vast majority (well over 99%) will test positive at 3 months and even with old tests it was almsot unheard of for it to ever take 6 months. Also sharing a Dildo is a very low risk activity, yes the CDC recommends using condoms and cleaning between partners however i could only find one case report where shared Dildo use was implicated in transmission and this was how they described it "The sexual practices engaged in by our patient, specifically using sex toys vigorously enough to cause exchange of blood-tinged body fluids, pose a reasonable theoretical risk of HIV transmission"

Hope this helps.
