Confused please educate me!

Confused please educate me!

Hi all, I would like to be a little more educated on STD's and HIV.

However, I would like to explain my situation with a little more detail. It has been worrying me so much so I feel I need to let it out.
About 9 months ago, I had unprotected oral sex from my ex-girlfriend and I fingered her a few times. We also had protected sex. I haven't had any symptons yet and I was 17 and the time and she was 16. I doubt she had HIV, but not really sure (maybe STD's because she had a couple of partners in the past).

To start off, my encounters were low risk for HIV right? Even for STD's? I myself have not had any sexual encounters before this. This was my first sexual exposure so no other partners.

I am just very confused about STD and HIV transmission. Is there a website where I could be more educated? Or could someone explain it to me? I used google but could not find one where it could explain everything except for medhelp.

Thank you to anyone that could answer my questions.

your "encounters" were not low risk...they were NO RISK.

receving a ******** and fingering are not means for transmitting/contracting hiv.  condom protected sex is also a no risk situation.

Thank you for this information, but if you dont mind me asking, what about STD's? It's been 9 months that I haven't had any symptoms and have read that some STD's dont have symptoms till later on.

The protected sex pretty much protected you from other STDs as well. But the unprotected oral would expose you to pretty much the whole suite (syph, ghon, chlam, but NOT HIV), again IF she had something. Go get a general STD test, but don't worry about HIV, as you were protected from that with the vaginal and it is not really transmitted orally.
