Risky Behavior

I know this has been asked a million times, but I just need reassurance.  In February I had the gold standard testing of all STD tests and came back clean.  Since then, I had sex with a guy who sees lots of other people.  I had sex with him twice.  The first time we used a condom and no issues.  The second time (he's really large) we used magnums, and it broke.  He didn't ***, but considering his history, I'm a nervous wreck.  This Wednesday will be 6 weeks post.  I'm seeing a new guy and would like to get tested before doing anything that might injure him.  If I get tested today or tomorrow or even Wednesday, shouldn't it be pretty conclusive?

Also, I think (no, I'm not a doctor) that many people here likely suffer from health anxiety and/or OCD.  I already know that I do.  There are a lot of great resources for health anxiety sufferers on the web and you might want to spend some of your time going there!

Have a 6 week test done.  It should be pretty conclusive since most people will either test inconclusive or positive at 26 days.  If you chose to engage in any penetration with your new guy between now & then, wear a condom.  If for some reason your still feeling insecure about your 6 week test (if it's negative), have a 12 week done.  So until you feel secure enough, wear protection.  Good luck.
