Cant stop thinking about it
Hi,
I can't stop thinking about the possibility that I may have contracted HIV. I was with a steady girlfriend for about 4 months. She had told me that she tested negative for HIV after she stopped seeing her last boyfriend. She had a few sexual partners before me.
I had sex with her numerous times without a condom. One time I even came inside of her. Exactly three months after I came inside of her I decided to get an HIV test. The results came back negative, and I felt relieved. I did not think I contracted HIV or that my girlfriend had it but I was nonetheless worried so I took the test and got a negative result.
After the results I proceeded to have unprotected sex with her again and a few times I remember pulling out and seeing some blood on my penis. She said this was not from her period but she was having some "spotting". I would say that this happened 3 or 4 times where we would have sex, she would orgasm and I would pull out and find some blood on my penis. I did not *** inside her on any of these occasions. I cannot get the notion out of my mind that even though I had been sex with her numerous times and then three months later I got a negative test, that now since blood was on my penis I could have been infected becaue if she were to have HIV the virus would be more prevalent in blood than in vaginal fluids. I am confident my girlfriend was only seeing me, she was in love with me...but I still keep telling myself that I need to get another test! Agghh the agony I am going through right now.
Also, It has been 5 weeks since I broke up with her and I was wondering when was the soonest I could get a test and be sure the results are 99% accurate?
Also do I really need to get tested?
Thank you for your help

Going "unprotected" with anyone outside your committed relationship, is always risky. After knowing about the "score card" of your ex, having an unprotected "endeavor" was not a wise thing to do. A previous negative test, done 4 months back is not a guarantee that she is safe to have an unprotected, if she remained sexually active between now and then.
u should wait for 7 more weeks before geing tested and make sure hat u don indulge in any risky behaviour before that...stay well dude...;.
