About 7-8 year ago I was molested by 2 different family members at different times.I was way younger then about 15 years of age.I never told anyone.Now at the age of 23 im starting to worry and feel like I should have said something back then because I'm not sure if I should've been checks for stds/hiv or not.Neither one of them actually penetrated my vagina just frottage unprotected.One of them did try and perform anal but due to my hole being so tight he couldn't get it all the way in...He pushed hard trying to get it in but he was having problems.My worry is maybe his head went in with precum am I at risk??I know for a fact his entire penis didn't enter but not sure if the head did or not.Fast forward 8 years later im starting to experience a lot of hiv symptoms such as thrust on my tongue,tingling in feet and hands,weight lost,lost of appetite,skin acne/rashes,and a random hard bump on my right arm along with digestive issues.Im worrying myself to death need advice please.

    Tiffany,

     You should go immediately to the doctor and tell what you have posted here to make sure your health is not in danger. You should also go to the police station and see if you can file charges against the people who did this to you. I don't know what the statute of limitations are for the type of crimes committed against you. But you should at least try and also you may want to get counseling.

    Good luck and God bless you,

    Kathee

      Thanks Kathee now that I'm older I decided to speak on my situation.Not sure if they will do much about it due to the fact it was so many yrs ago.And I've thought about consuleing as well but more concerned if I have contracted hiv.Im so scared to test because of getting a positive result.Do yu believe with the info I provided about the sexual enconture does that pose a low risk,high risk,no risk?

      Hi,

      You can only contract HIV from someone who has HIV tiffanybee. What do you mean by frottage ?

      I defiently would see a counsellor as this is clearly troubling you. And you have to report this to police as you were under age and could consent to anything. I am just so shocked family members have done this to you. Do you see these family members still ? If you do it must be horrid

    I would say a low risk, but you do need to get yourself checked anyway.

    As for the molestation, definitely speak to your doctor about it and depending upon what he or she says, maybe to the police. Your doctor will maybe suggest counselling and the police, but you will not find out until you take that very first brave step.

    It is absolutely discusting and unacceptable for children to suffer in this way.

    Please let us know how you go on.

    Terrible experience, I don't know how anyone can be so cruel to a vulnerable teenager. Did you y to tell anyone at the time, that may help you when you go to the police. It does not seem like there is any time limit on when you can report this horrible stuff. Yes get checked, your future sexual and mental health depends on it. If you are in the UK access your local GUM clinic( Genito Urinary Medicine) clinic. You do not need a referral letter for that, but you may need to ring them first to make an appointment. Support from a counsellor may help you a lot.
