Some help needed

I posted a question about a sore throat and swollen glands two days after giving oral. I also had a swollen gland in my armpit.  I am still concerned but have bigger issues. I had unprotected sex twice two weeks ago with him and have since broke up. I know I have to wait ten more weeks but I am freaking out. I have a cold, stuffy nose, sore throat, no fever or swollen gland. I have questined him and he said I need to get over it he had a physical and they did a retroviral scan and everything was fine. Is this to look for all kinds of things because he mentioned hepatitis and being negative. He has elevated liver enzymes and a fatty liver so I wondered if that is why they did the scan. He is caucasion, heterosexual, and does not use iv drugs. He also said he was on meds for fatty liver that turned his urine colors. This is gross but one time his precum had an odd odor but not his semen. Could this be from vitamins? I was hoping nursegirl could help me with this plethera of questions. I also want to say, embarrassingly, he is married. I am sure he has been unfaithful before but when I found out I let his wife know so she could be tested. He ofcourse freaked and stopped contact between us.

I'm sorry I cannot answer all of your questions. But what needs to be said is UNPROTECTED SEX = TESTING WARRANTED. That's really the long and short of it.

Irrespective of what he was or wasn't tested for, what his demographics might be, whether or not he is married and/or a cheater, you need to test yourself. For many reasons, you can NEVER use another person's status as an indicator of your own status.

You must test 3 months after your last unprotected encounter for a conclusive result. Be well.
