Ask Sexpert: Fear of Infection after using Condom

Q: I had protected intercourse with a girl in Thailand. After withdrawing, I found that the condom was intact. Before removing the condom, I noticed that its tip was red. Within a few seconds, the semen inside the condom turned red too. I discarded the condom and thoroughly washed my penis, testicles and pubic area with soap and water. I am scared I may have contracted HIV. Please help.

A: She probably had the start of her periods. It is not clear whether the condom had a break point or was intact. After a few weeks, have a check up done from a dermatologist. He will direct further action. Do not get tense, I don't think you will catch an infection.
