Help and Support needed, please.
I hope that this is the right place to leave my paranoid post.
I had sex for the first time three months ago. Probably the reason I am completely paranoid and freaked out - I would, however, appreciate any form of a comment. I am sure there are many out there that have gone through with this before.
My boyfriend at the time and I had protected vaginal sex twice, ie. using a condom. He was careful and seemed to be checking a lot - I have no doubts that we were safe in that regard, we used protection correctly.
As for oral sex, I received, but it was unprotected. He did not want oral sex from me ( in itself strange behavior).
I would not have doubted or become less trustworthy if he we had not ended our relationship very soon after losing my virginity to him. He did mention having a certificate to prove his HIV negative status after breaking up with his previous girlfriend. I never saw it with my own eyes, naive as can be, I guess.
I will be going for a test in three days time after waiting three months as indicated on most forums or information brochures. I have two friends who will also be going since we decided that one's status is not something to fool around with. The support is wonderful, but I cannot help scaring myself with what I am reading on the net.
Possibly paranoia kicking in as a result of my conscience. I cannot help to post this here to ask for support in going for the test, as well as any comments that would lighten the load. Please respond, and thank you in advance.

Thank you - good to hear. And quite a relief. I thought that HIV would jump host at any opportunity possible. Instead it seems from what Ive read in this forum that HIV might be extremely virulent - but not that sufficient. Thank you for the reply.
How much blood would be sufficient to transmit HIV in the event of oral sex? A lot, He would be seeking a hospital not doing oral sex.
You are for sure fine
You are for sure fine
Thank you very much for the replies. I appreciate it. I started getting worried about contracting HIV from oral sex after I realized his lip was infact bleeding the one time, I can't remember when it was though. How much blood would be sufficient to transmit HIV in the event of oral sex?
I also realize that I'm worrying too much - but going for the test would provide closure to the ''boyfriend running away after having sex with me'' issue. I have not yet gone, I am surprised as to the difficulty to find a place that still does testing this time of the year without having to get a reference from a GP.
Thank you again

Sometimes young guys are embarrassed to get BJS becasue of their insecurites and the fact that he ended it afterwards proves nothing but he was a jerk...not abnormal male behavior. You didn't have a risk with him giving you oral sex. Proper condom use is very effective against HIV and other STDS.
My wishes are with you and dear You can NEVER get HIV through oral sex.I am definitely 100% sure that your result will be negative.
Enjoy your life.
Enjoy your life.
