How long before can i take a test?
I had sexual activity about a week ago. I want to know if it is possible to get an accurate result if i have a test for HIV and STDs in one week of exposure?
Agreed with malbat. You don't need testing for HIV as you had no risk for it.
As I mentioned before, you can get better information about STDs on it's own forum. Take care.

No risk in the activities you mention.. If the condom would have slipped or broken, trust me, you would have known.. Its very very hard to miss.. In this scenario.. You had no risk and don't have to do any HIV testing.
unprotected oral and fingering with another male. protected intercourse but I'm not sure if the condom breaks or slip off or not. It was a casual meet. Or is it just anxiety?
No, not for HIV and the same probably goes for most STDs too> but you should post a question on the STD forum for those.
What kind of risk did you have ?
A DUO at 28 days post exposure is an excellent indication, and an antibody test at 12 weeks post exposure for a conclusive result.
If you tell us your type of exposure, the members here can tell you if you even need a test or not.
