Herpes, HIV risk?

[muffin9190]

I have been a bit active this year. At the beginning of the year I slept with my ex who had previously been in a relationship for 2 years. We had unprotected vaginal sex (never done anal before). There was no ejaculation. It was really a one off. Then in February I was with someone else who cannot wear condoms because of allergies. We still speak to each other and he told me that he had an STD screening in January.

I then in April started a relationship with another guy who said that he got tested every six months and was last tested on february 6th in NJ or around that time.

Three weeks after him i felt burning on urination. I thought it was bacteria vaginitis which i have had before. But I did a test for Clamydia which came out positive. I do not know how accurate these tests are but I took antibiotics anyway. he swore that there was no way that he had any STD's. There was also no ehaculation with any of these episodes.

After the antibiotics, about a week after. I felt sores and cuts around my vagina. Plus slight swollen glands in my groin. i know that years ago i had a boyfriend that had herpes and have had an episode before. I also feel a slight sore throat. not when i swallow or anything. Also a light swalllen gland under the right side of my jaw. It could be the strong lotion that I am using on my face but I have had a few pin ***** sores on my face. But i am using Retin A at times for spots.

I am just nervous about HIV mainly. And the sores have been for a good few days at the moment. Seem to be drying up today. I will be going for an STD screening to put my mind at rest. But I keep on reading about HIV symtoms and waiting for them to happen. oh I have sweated at night a couplf of times but never been fluey or sick. I live in the UK. Any advice would be helpful!

You had a risk. Get a full STD panel and HIV test. Next time someone tells you that they are allergic to latex tell them to get a poly condom.

Thank you for your advice. Yes i will be getting screened on Thursday (very nervous, bad result knowing my luck). I will mention the poly condoms as myself and him were only talking about the issue today. I was telling him about my concern and he had been screened in January (we were together in feb) and doesn't sleep around.
