i had sex with a girl one month earlier and i didnt had fever or anything. i used condoms as well during sex. she had periods during that time and when i took off the condom i wiped myself and penis glans with the tissue paper, which might had drops of period blood on it. i dont know if she had std or hiv, but is it possible to get hiv in this case??

Hello. Highly unlikely. Do you have a particular reason to fear that you might be infected? Did she tell you (or have you been told by someone else) that she has or has recently had any STDs? Or a previous history of having STDs?If you're anxious, go along to your local GUM clinic. I have been to many clinics around the country over the years and I have never had a bad experience. The doctors, nurses and health care professionals have all been excellent - and they are friendly, discreet and totally non-judgemental. And do not be embarrassed. They have heard - and seen - it all before!!

Alternatively, consider getting a test kit through the post (usually free) which can test for all STDs. You'll take samples at home and post them off for testing. Results are usually back in a few days via a discreet text message.

Bear in mind that in can take months or (in theory) years for an HIV infection to 'raise it's head' (which is very tedious, but there we are).

Good luck.
