I am 16 years old and last year I was sexually abused by my cousin 17 years, he ejaculated near my anus. Now I had developed genital warts? I am scared about HIV could I have it also?

There is no certainty that you have contracted AIDS. AIDS and HIV are extremely difficult to contract. HIV is NOT automatically passed on in any case. Even if you were to have blood from an HIV infected person drip directly onto an open wound on your skin, transmission of HIV would not be for certain, though it would be extremely high (about 90% likely). Sexual intercourse is how HIV is passed on in about 60-70% of all cases, though the actual chance of getting HIV from someone infected by it through sexual intercourse is anywhere from 0.1% to about 1%. If condoms are used always and properly, the chance of transmission is about 1 in 1000 (0.1%). If they are used most of the time and properly, the chance is closer to 1/100 (1%). If condoms are not used at all, risk increases to 1 in 10/1 in 15 or about 10%. The reason people become infected is that they participate in high risk behaviours such as consistant unprotected sex with many people they do not know. Risk increases with number of partners, but the chances are still very relatively low. From the Centre for Communicable diseases, this is the info they give on transmission rates: Risk of HIV-1 Transmission by Type of Exposure Exposure. Transmission rate Blood Transfusion. Very high (>90%) Perinatal (mother to baby birth. From 10%-30% Sexual Intercourse. From 0.1% (1/1,000) to 1% (1/100) Injecting drugs. Generally less than 1% Health care (pricked by a needle. Less than 0.5% Household. Very Rare - can occur via fresh blood contact To Summarize, there is no way to know if HIV has been transmitted to you, and your chance of being infected is low at about 5-10%, at the highest. That being said, having unprotected sex with anyone whose sexual history you do not know completely (and you can never know anyone's completely) is a huge mistake. Go and get tested, though you will have to wait about 6 months before the results can be considered accurate, as HIV antibodies take a large amount of time to show up in the bloodstream. Stop worrying about it now, because that will not help you. The chances you have been infected are low, but still possible. Stop having sex without condoms, and get tell your doctor exactly what has happened so he can order tests for you now & over the next several months.
