Risky Behavior

I've currently started seeing someone and had unprotected sex on two occasions. Only a few weeks before we met each other, he had unprotected sex with 5 women in the Philippines. Neither of us have any symptoms of STDs. In the past, I've had HPV, which eventually resolved about a year and a half after it was diagnosed. The guy that I'm seeing is a very care-free doctor whose lack of concern makes me nervous. I was re-tested for basically all common STDs about a month ago and he was tested about 2 months ago. However, these sexual encounters happened very recently. We've agreed that we're going to be monomogous. Continuing sexually with him in the future, provided that neither of us is sleeping with anyone else, probably wouldn't affect anything since I've already been fully exposed twice. Right? Should I get re-tested? Don't I need to wait at least 3 weeks? Also, my insurance will likely not contribute to the bill since I just had an exam a month ago. Right? Is my risk of contracting another STD increased because of the previous incidence of HPV? Thank you very much for your help.

this man doesn't sound like he's capable of monogomy..i think ur really risking ur health to be sexually involved with him.....u really need to use condoms if ur gonna still see him.Ur risk of contracting another std becuase of the HPV is unrelated...he could re-introduce u to another strain.Takes 3-4 mos.from time of xposure to gential herpes for a test to show valid results and with gon chalym and syph u know fairly quick if u have these!I got high risk HPV in 06.One partner in 10 years who bragged he never used a condom in his life....and i foolishly proceeded with him.I'm fortunate all i got was HPV..had to have a LEEP....oh yes i'm wiser but it was wisdom for the pain!
