27 days, Should I worry, Oraquick validity

On 2/7, I had a sex twice with a woman (not a pro). In the first episode, I gave and received oral, put a condom on and had vaginal intercourse to climax. In the second, she got me hard with her hand, got on top of me without a condom on. As soon as she did, I told her I needed to get a condom. She was on me for less than a minute with very little movement. After protected vaginal intercourse, I found blood on the end of the condom. I asked her if she was expecting her period and she told me that she thought it was over. She never had a tampon or pad on.
When I realized she might have been bleeding when I gave her oral (probably a good 20 minutes) and I had a cold sore on my inner lower lip, I got a bit nervous.

A 4 week test is the first hurdle, in my opinion.  the Cdc says 50% of people seroconvert at 22 days.  So you cleared that.  If you can afford a Pcr test, which will check for virus, not antibody, that will be accurate after 28 days, so that will give you some more assurance.  I have a feeling your Pcr will be neg.

That will make the final two month wait bearable.  If you can, get a Pcr test now, an antibody test at 60 days.  If both are neg, as i hope and believe they will be, you are almost home free.  A final antibody test at 3 months will close the deal.

Learn from this.  Remember the worry and anxiety you are going through now the next time you are tempted to have unsafe sex.  Condoms are your friend.
