Unprotected sex with a married man
Dear Sirs,
I am 23 yo female. My first sexual intercourse happened in the end of November, 2013. Twice, in 5 days period. Both of them were unprotected (vaginal sex).
Apparently the guy is married.
I have freaked out and did the the blood test in the beginning of January, 2014 (around 4 weeks after the last intercourse). The HIV/AIDS test was negative, the other SDT tests were negative as well, except of Ureaplasma urealyticum. I took 10 days antibiotic course re this.
Before this day I have not felt any symptoms of HIV but few days ago I started feeling to be more tired (hopefully its some kind of normal reaction to weather changes). I am really worried that I might have HIV as I did not know the guy too well, I have found out that he is married from other sources not from him directly and I have cut all the communications with him from that time). I am worried that he might be sleeping around quite often and not using protection even though he is married.
My doctor said that even though the tests were negative I should repeat them after 6months due to the window period.
Being sad that, may I kindly inquire how many percentages the test after 4weeks of exposure can be accurate? and how much should I be worried in this case?

Thank you - noted.
I presume that the test after 4weeks is not so accurate? By any chance do you know how many percentages it shows the correct answer?
