Anxiety about CDC infection
in Health ·
Respect to everyone,
I have a question regarding the actual risk of CDC transmission during a partially risky encounter. A few days ago, I had sex with a partner (my first and last time with her); we didn't use a condom during penetration for about a minute, though we used one for the rest of the time. She claims she is negative, but she has never actually been tested. I read somewhere that the transmission risk for sexual contact is around 0.3%, but this uncertainty is killing me while I wait for my own results. The mental weight of the potential consequences—things I really should have considered beforehand—is overwhelming. I’m looking for serious answers only.
Thanks in advance.
