F'd up ex-boyfriend

Okay.. so i had this boyfriend that i had been with for awhile.. and he gets this rash on his hands and arms and even some on his legs.. and has a cold sore on his gum line.. But i don't think anything of it.. and we have unprotected sex!! Well he then leaves me without a word for his ex-wife and i then find out from his mother that he has an STD.. i don't know which one.. But i'm scared!!! It's only been three weeks since and i don't have any symptoms of anything and i feel fine.. But still scared.. I'm going to go get tested tomorrow.. hopefully.. But does this sound like AIDs?? I've read up on it.. and it does to me..  Does it to you??

Wait 3 more weeks and have a test. Then test again at 3 months. Your 6 week test is very unlikely to change

It sucks to wait but only way to know for sure, symptoms are meaningless.

Depends on when your exposure was? You can also get tested at 6 weeks after exposure to get a good indacation and test again at 3 months. It is unlikely for a 6 week test result to change.

Symptoms mean NOTHING in knowing someones status. Hid symptoms are unlikely due to HIV/AIDS. Get tested 3 months after the last time you had unprotected sex to know your status
