Ask Sexpert: Risk of improper usage of Condom

Q: I indulged in intercourse for the first time with a sex worker. I used a condom. However, the condom covered only half my penis. Later, I masturbated using the same hand that I had used to remove the condom. Are there chances of HIV? When do I get myself tested?

A: The condom must cover the whole penis for proper safety. You have taken a risk. You may take a rapid test within weeks of exposure. Or else, wait for three to five months to get a standard test done.
