I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.

You are free from hiv but can't guarantee of other stds some of which are more easily transmitted. To better understand the implications and risks of stds please take private consultation with audio video chat and then I can guide you properly and tell you what is the best way forward.
