extremely anxious ..should i test?

[worried_sick79]

ive had a potentially risky encounter  almost 4 weeks ago. i had protected sex for 5 min with an ex. the condom was perfect through out.i even went as far as blowing it up afterwards:s it seemed fine. i've been going out of my mind with what if scenario's concerning hiv.. im absolutely scared out of my wits with information on the internet etc. my very own dr scared the **** outta me. i was very pleased with one forum but they banned me temporarily because i apparently had a no risk situation and i kept going on about it. then to top it off i developed a rather strange rash lastnight that didnt go away until about 3 hrs ago:(.it was very small ,red ,a little itchy and hot to touch.it was also above my knees. i dont know what to do.im petrified.should i honestly test? and would a 3 to 4 week test ease my mind temporarily?:( please help






p.s i forgot to add i was also using clotrimaderm yeast infection treatment for 2 days. the medication was fully visible on the latex condom afterwards.im also scared that may have messed up the protection:(...






im a female btw.im sorry i didn't include that.ive been so addled and frightened. i wish to god i never ever slept with him but to late now and now i'll probably have to pay dearly for the rest of my life for such a stupid mistake.

[worried_sick79]

thanks joggen, that is what everyone says to me.im trying to let it go believe me...

[RainLover71]

Except the facts from the people who know what there talking about when it comes to hiv and exposures tell you that you never had a risk of hiv transmission.Don,t torture yourself anymore its sad.All the best.

hi, this is an update on my situation not excessively questioning a conclusively negative result or no risk...i also had another  question and would appreciate an answer besides the WARNING.. i did not know that this was not allowed...

[Hope242]

Oral sex is not a risk for HIV. You never had a risk and you don't have HIV

[worried_sick79]

appreciate the answer hope 242
