| This is also posted on the other board but STDs are something everyone needs to be aware of..... Below are some URLs for some web sites that provide info on common STDs and HIV. I would suggest learning about these diseases and what the symptoms are and how long after contact you would expect to see them. Then watch for these systems over the next few weeks, if you have any sign of the systems go to a doctor and get checked out. You may want to find a local STD clinic tell them what happened and when it happened. They would be glad to give you advice about having tests for STDs. As fare as HIV you probably need to wait 3 – 6 months then go have an HIV test done. When you have the test done tell the doctor what happened and he will advise you on how often you should be tested and at what point you can stop worrying. I am NOT a medical professional but this is how I would deal with this. I think every one that participates in this hobby needs to educate themselves about STDs so that they can recognize systems and get any infection taken care of ASAP. These same people also should get an HIV test at least once a year more often if they have any sex without a condom or if they have a condom mishap such as yours.
