Low, though not impossible. Wait for cold sores to show up and get them tested.

edit: IIRC, there has to be some sort of cold sore (or whatever they're called in the genitals area) to test for the Herpes virus. If he doesn't have any, there's nothing to test. But I'd find out for sure before he has sex with anyone else.

Thanks, I'll keep my fingers crossed for my friend!

You can also transit HPV despite condoms. It usually isn't a big deal for guys, but can be really bad news for women.

So two condoms were walking down the street and they came to a gay bar, one condom said "Let's go in here and get shit faced".

Till you have a kid. That's an STD for life. Besides, some partners cheat.

yeah, and what if you didn't take out the garbage last night or forgot your anniversary and she gets mad and prunes your twig and berries?

Here lemme go with what I learned in catholic school (yuck) OP:

The only safe sex, is no sex.

The difference between true love and herpes.... Herp lasts forever.

OP I think it's best for everyone if you just abstain.

agreed.

Everything you do in life is a risk. Including leaving your house on a daily basis. You cannot go through life worry about everything. Don't be careless either.

FYI....getting head with a condom blows......don't bother.

I'm curious to know.

Judging by your posts I don't think you'll have to worry about ever having sex.

You should go get tested. err Have your friend go get tested. Check out this page.

The safest sex is with blow up dolls, but many are made in China so be aware there's a choking hazard.

Some hookers/escorts are very clean and very professional. Arguably more safe than your average bar skank.

a condom for oral? move along little doggie.

 

[sao123]

the only safe sex is to die a virgin... which most of ATOT should consider.

 

[IceBergSLiM]

Don't worry OP, I got freaked out the first time I banged a hooker too.

Like anything it gets easier with time

I think it's you who went to visit one, and so you should just tell us what happened. This is twice you mentioned prostitute (the other time in the OP). Plus a friend wouldn't just tell you he had sex with a prostitute and is asking you for STD advice.

Come on, who was it with. How much did she charge?

your friend? sure. *wink-wink*

regardless...nothing is 100%... chances are you didn't catch anything even if that person was infected. Chances are you could have caught something too.

disease and figuring odds out is usually done by kids and those not getting out much.
