Home / Answered Questions / HI there. I’m overflowing with guilt and axiety . I’ve read about condom use on catie website which is well known like your site. I had protected vaginally sex. And protected oral (revicer). Apparently there are many ways to use the male condom wrong…. things like catie website said. Breakage slip and leak. The only thing I can say is it didn’t break. But it did slide down. Not off but slid down. As for leaks I blew it up a bit and didn’t seem to leak. But now I’m even more worried. I was able to do a rapid poc test 4 weeks and negative. I just did a 5 week 3 day blood draw for combo test. Waiting on results…. I don’t know how much more I can take and I’m starting to lose my mind. Thanks

Hello and thanks for your question. If the condom stayed on and the tip of the penis was not exposed to vaginal fluids, then this is considered safe sex and not a risk for HIV transmission. Hope this helps. Health Nurse
