Afraid for my health

OK. Once I heard that information I went to get a test and it was negative. This was last year in April. We split but got back together and became engaged after that situation. From the time we were together we had sex and he would always do pullout. he only came in me 2 times. The last time we had intercourse was in February. During the relationship, me and him never got sick with anything. We were healthy. He did have a stomach bug that went away with antibiotics and I ended getting cystitis during the relationship but that's about it.
Our relationship ended 2 months ago and I ended meeting a guy in a relationship with another woman. We stupidly had sex without a condom and he did not ejaculate in me. He told me prior to having sex that he has no STD or STI. I asked about his HIV status and he says he has gave blood a month ago and that if had anything they would have contacted him.
I was feeling fine after the exposure until I started cycle and started to itch. I went to my gyno and she told me I have Bacterial Vaginosis. I am so floored because I believe I got it from him. I am on antibiotics and it's clearing up.

What are the chances I may HIV positive. I never had anything going wrong with my vagina until now. How accurate would an oraquick home test be at this point?
Everywhere I go I am seeing things about Std and HIV. I am very scared to test.

The timeline of events is somewhat confusing.  The only relevant piece of information is, on what date did you last have unprotected intercourse with anyone?

BV has nothing to do with HIV, by the way, and women get it from time to time.

@curfewx The last time I had sex with my EX was in February and I had sex again 4 weeks ago with a new guy 4 weeks ago.  Both was unprotected and pull out.  The guy I had sex with 4 weeks ago has a girlfriend and claims he has given blood a month ago.  

I am so afraid to be tested. I've read where BV is sexually transmitted
It can be, but it has NOTHING to do with HIV.  Zero.

Go to a clinic and get a 4th generation test any time now for a conclusive result.  If you use any other test, such as a home test, it will be conclusive at 90 days post-exposure.
Is it possible that I could be infected
Only a test will answer that question and it is a purposeless waste of your life to worry daily about what the results might be  -  especially if you want to have sexual relations with someone else someday. My point is everyone who has unprotected sex in the past and who wants to have unprotected with a new partner should test (and that includes your partner next time) before starting new unprotected relations, so you will need to do it sometime anyway.
There is nothing pointing toward you having hIV, and fear does not make disease, so I suggest you do yourself a favor and test.
