Been 2 years, 3 tests.. still worry?
Okay. Thought I'd ask. So here goes..
2 years ago I had a one time encounter at a party with a total stranger. Gave fellatio to completion. Then I started to freak out about the risks of diseases. I had a hiv test at 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 6 months, all came back negative. I guess I still have lingering concerns in the back of my mind. Is there reason/concern enough to take another test? (note: not been with anyone since).

Thanks Joggen. To be honest, have no idea if the other person was infected or not (probably not) and I did have the three tests that were negative. I just didn't know if it was prudent to get tested again since it has been a couple of years. I remember the horrible feelings of dread afterward and was so sure I was going to die from a moment of stupidity. I think that stress did a lot to my health back when it was still fresh on my mind. I had every std test done at the time (twice) and everything was clear. So, I'll put this all behind me now and chalk it up to one of life's learning experiences.
