High risk HIV exposure???!!!??????

Ok I'm a 20 yr old female who is worried sick that I have HIV. About 4-5 years ago I had sex for the first time with this guy I was dating. Unfortunately I was drunk but I still asked him to use a condom but I don't know if he did or not because the room was dark. He was in the millitary and was just leaving to go over seas. I know the millitary doesn't let HIV infected people travel over seas. But I keep thinking that maybe he got infected after he got tested, and by him breaking my virginity with no condom on is a high risk right??? I'm worried out my mind. Please HELP..I've never had any ars symptoms. But I did develop a small rash on my arm about 3 months ago and it didn't go away for a month and a half, but I kept worrying about it so that could be a factor. It did go away when I treated it though..any thoughts?? Please help!!!!!

the ONLY way to know one's status is by testing.

odds are...the guy didnt have hiv...but still test so that you can put this to rest.

I guess I'm terrifyed of knowing. I don't know what I would do if I'm positive. I guess I'm holding on to the chance of being negative. Being positive would ruin my life.
