One time Unprotected

Hello,

I am a heterosexual male.  I had a one night encounter with another man two weeks ago (14 days) while exploring whether or not I had any inclination toward being bi-sexual.  We engaged in unprotected mutual oral stimulation without ejaculation (there were no sores or evidences of any penis traumas of any sort on the other person, and I had none nor have any evidence of any to date), and then I was the insertive (top) anal (unprotected, using a water based gel lubricant), again without ejaculation (Actually I became very nervous during this time and lost my erection and was unable to continue due to anxiety about the activity), there was no bleeding that was observed or any evidence of sores of any type.  I will not ever have this type of interaction again.

I have since spoken with the other man who claims that he does not do this sort of thing regularly.  I know this can either be true or false.  He also stated that he has tested negative.  He also asked my status, to which I stated that I have never had such an encounter, but would believe I was negative as well, but I did not know absolutely.  When I asked him how long ago he was tested he stated about a year.  I failed to ask him about any sexual activities he may have had since that last test.

I plan to have a full spectrum of STD (PCR is available for HIV and the website states that it is accurate after 28 days) tests at the 28 day mark at a local lab to confirm what I believe to be the case of my being negative for HIV, though I know intellectually there may be a possibility of course for a positive result.  I plan to be tested for all STD's that are common.

My questions I suppose are, 'How likely am I to have contracted HIV from such an encounter, will the test be accurate (do I understand the test information correctly?), are there any particular STD symptoms I should be looking for (Not only HIV), and is there anything I should consider apart from what I have already considered?

I must say that I am greatly afraid and have been somewhat obsessing over the information available via the internet.  Any help I can get would be much appreciated

PCR-RNA tests are supplemental tests. They aren't stand alone tests and have to be used in conjunction with an antibody test. There are no tests marketed or sold that will give a conclusive test result earlier than three months.

1.The statistics vary. Some say 1 out of 500 and some will say 1 out of 400. There is a chance and if your partner was willing to engage in unprotected sex with you then he may have with other. He could have also been in the window period.

Yes you can take a test at 28 days. While it is an okay indicator, a 3 month test is still recommended.

2. Symptoms are not good and I have learned that from experience.
