Made a mistake, tested negative but worried still. What are my chances?
I made a dumb mistake. I had a scare earlier this year so I'm kicking myself over this one and alcohol in my life is going to be reevaluated but that's a different story.
I had sex with a promiscuous girl. It started off with a condom, but then there was blood on it....... Girl was like oh this is normal it happens.... Now the next part is shakey though I don't know if it makes any difference cause in the end I continued anyway. Part of me remembers a very brief insertion after taking the condom off but at the same time I don't recall the condom ever being loose on the floor or bed, the girl took it to the bathroom with her and said "let me clean off" and maybe it was after that that we continued for a moment in the bedroom. But despite all that, we did move to the shower and continued completely raw for a moment then I pulled out before finishing.... Did not notice blood on my penis it was only on the condom but considering she bled at one point I figure the damage is already there.......
So ya super stupid on my part to continue after that fiasco I cringe and haven't drank since that night heh.... Anyway at EXACTLY 28 days later I went to an STD clinic and did a blood draw. I'm not sure what the specific test was, I assume 4th gen, I went in on Thursday evening and got my results back on Tuesday so basically 3 day to figure it out... NEGATIVE . Also I did the finger prick rapid test @ 22 days past exposure that was as well negative. Another shakey area for me, I went to the std clinic @ only 12 days past the sex and got urine tested which was negative for chlamydia/gonorrhea, so good news there but kind of worried I went too soon as I wasn't even two weeks out....
So even with all this uplifting and hopeful news I still feel worried. I know part of it is the guilt that I said I wouldn't be this stupid again and it happened....But part of it is that I did do something stupid, I continued sex after blood was present..... And I'm reading things online how 28 days isn't even a surefire indicator now it's making me uneasy about my urine STD test and I'm kicking myself. Is this all for nothing? I guess what I'm asking if that I heard there are routine test that can get the HIV virus 2 weeks after testing and research has only grown, was my test conclusive? Are these internet sayings out of date or am I not quite in the clear yet.

You had a risk blood or no blood with unprotected penetration.
I'd call and ask what type of Hiv test it was.
If 4th generation it is mostlikely an accurate indication.
One final antibody test at 12 weeks will confirm and be conclusive.
For other std enquiries submit them to the appropriate forum.
