I had sex with wearing the condom inside out - #11727
The condom did not break and also it was well intact to the penis and I did not ejaculate and I did not reuse the same condom after realising it was worn inside out in the wrong way. Should I be concerned about getting STI or HIV? When should I get tested to get the accurate results?

Hello vijay, Don’t panic. Probablity of having STI or Hiv is zero or low Since it wasn’t flipped/broken/reused.
But for just REASSURANCE you can do the tests if partner status is unknown HIV - 12 weeks(early test 4 weeks) Herpes-4 to 6 weeks Syphylis -3 to 6 weeks Gonorrhea- 1 to 2 weeks
I hope this helps. Thank you
Hello dear See as per clinical history the chances are less since there was no history of either ejaculation or any leakage into vagina So chances of hiv or any sexually transmitted diseases are very less However for your doubt clearance you can get tests done to rule out the chances Eliza PCR Dark field microscopy Nat or nucleac acid tests Nat can be done in 10-15 days while eliza tes can be done in 6 weeks ( p24) and hiv antigen ( 3 months). Hopefully your query got solved Regards
This means the protection was still effective, and the risk of HIV/STI transmission is extremely low to negligible. The main concern with inside-out use is if you had already pre-ejaculate or semen on the condom surface before turning it around and re-using it but you did not reuse it.
