Terrified of HIV
Just looking for some advice here
I was tested for HIV last week on Thursday and was negative, so I know where I stand before this incident indefinitely
Last night (Sunday) I had protected vaginal sex and unprotected (receiving) oral sex with a man I had met online after we had been talking for a while and went for dinner
After the first episode of protected vaginal sex, he went for round two, initially with a condom, but after 1 or so minutes I noticed he had taken it off
I stopped intercourse immediately and asked him when he was last tested
He said he had ben tested "for everything" 5 months ago through "blood and ****" and "got all negative results after a week"
Other than what he told me I obviously don't know much about him or his risk factors
I am scared to death that I may have contracted HIV (or another STD) but am mostly concerned about the HIV risk here from the unprotected oral and the minute or so of penile insertion
Should I go to my clinic and request PEP? Was this a high risk exposure for HIV?
Thanks

Hello,
Unprotected sex (even a brief one) poses a risk of HIV transmission.
An HIV test at the right time will give you accurate results.
A 4th generation test should be done at 4 weeks post exposure and a simple HIV test at three months post exposure.
Keep calm and test at the right time.
Take care

should I try to get PEP? or just wait to test?
Does anyone have a more helpful/informative answer?
I will test, but should I seek out PEP? Will my results more likely than not be positive when i do test?

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
