Protected sex risk?

[Natpatt]

Hi recently took plunge and received anal with condom from trans for first time? Sadly this last week I’ve started worrying a lot about STDs/HIV etc…
Just wondering if anyone has had any issues even when used protection or if people in my position deem condoms suitable enough precautions.
Thanks

If the condom was worn properly and kept on the whole t8me, you should have very little to worry about, unless the condom broke at some point. Nothing is 100 preventative expect for complete abstinence

HIV is not the end of the world. Not worth stressing over. Get tested and you will be fine regardless the outcome of the test.

Sadly I am stressed. So much so I’m making myself ill. Given my encounter is this irrational?

[Natpatt]

That’s what is scary. I always thought an intact condom would provide 100% protection. Do people know people who’ve caught HIV/STDs whilst correctly and consistently using condoms?

You should not be giving anyone advice like this man… seek mental help. HIV can potentially be fatal, you sound like you want to spread it so you won’t feel alone, this is exactly why anyone who is reading this, be extremely careful think twice about your decisions.

Have you any thoughts or comments on the original post? Thanks

My advice was to get tested. Knowing your status is how you take away the stress he is having about STDs.

Knowing your status protects your future partners, so you don't spread it.

My advice is about HIV not being the end of the world is because HIV has been stigmatized so much that people that might have been exposed go years without getting tested because they're scared to death of getting a positive result. They end up hurting themselves by foregoing potential treatment if they're poz and they expose others to it.

I don't want anybody to get this. That's why I advise him to get tested.

Appreciate advice generally will always be get tested. And I will. But I was just trying to engage. There are obviously people who see trans girls a lot, some not so much, some will have families and normal lives, I was just wondering if anybody had had an unfortunate experience whilst being completely safe during the act.

I'm not feeling sad for you, you brought it upon yourself and didn't do your homework by the sound of it....

there's a chasm between "Sadly I am stressed. So much so I’m making myself ill' and '...just wondering...'

Perhaps a tad harsh. I don’t want sympathy. It was my decision. And I based my first time on making sure condoms were 100% used. The There are a lot of clued up people on this forum. I know the major risks are generally associated with unprotected sex.
My original question was an honest question aimed at experienced and inexperienced people who may wish to discuss or have similar apprehension etc..or discuss some experiences.

It does sound irrational. Your risks should be pretty low, but only you two know what occurred during your encounter. This is not the place to do STD research, there are better resources and they are easy to find.

Appreciate that. And yes, the honest answer aside from some touching was protected penetration on me (with no ejaculation, I think a lot request extra for this, I didn’t personally ask) . I have used all of the official resources of course. Just with it being perhaps considered a fairly unique thing (trans escorting) I thought I would try and see if anybody else who participates would have any input based on own personal experiences.

You did the right thing by using a condom. I have given and received literally countless times and have never had an STI. Just get tested to clear your mind and don't let the paranoia put you off sex.

Thank you for the reply. Just difficult as it’s a private fantasy I’ve lived out and can’t actually speak to anyone, hence my post here.
By sounds of it you seem to be a regular and I suppose that’s what I wanted really, to engage with people who have also done/do this.
I didn’t think protected sex of any nature would ever make me feel this way. Suppose it might be best not participating in future

I understand you and can empathize. If you ever need someone to talk to feel free to drop me a PM. I hope you're feeling better.

Thank you. Not sure how to do that? I’ve added you as a friend, maybe that’s how?
Appreciate this.

At the top of the screen on the right (if you're on a desktop computer), look for "Settings." Click there and look for the "My Messages" box in the upper left. It should be self-explanatory from there.

I doubt there is anything to worry about from protected sex
I have hundreds of partners female and TS while I have used runners with all but 5 TS that I was in relations with I haven't used a rubber with a female since 2002 and I'm fine it's very hard for a top to get sick period especially from vaginal fluid if you wanna bottom bareback you are taking a huge risk but you did it with a rubber you are fine. Being paranoid as you are you should remain so. And this monkey poc shit is corney lol as I said in another post I haven't had sex in over a year self imposed and haven't been with a TS in several so I'm fine but when I do again the last thing im gonna worry about is monkey pox that's like saying Corona wasnt a fraud
