HIV risk. Scared.
I am a well educated female and I ALWAYS use condoms. However a week ago I do not know what happened. I had a few too much to drink and ended up going home with the biggest player in the bar.
We had sex in a pool for about 5 minutes then went up to his room. He was pretty drunk (and pretty floppy if you know what I mean) and he did not ejaculate.
He told me 3 days later that he woke up with a sore on his penis. He said it wasn't there when we had sex but I don't know I can't trust him. It definitly was not from me though.
He also told me he tested negative for HIV 1 year ago, but has had unprotected sex with about 7-8 female over the last year. He is going to get tested again this week so I'll keep you all posted.
I am severely freaking out right now. I am sure he probably has HIV. If he is positive what do you think the chances are that it was passed on to me? It's all I can thing about I have been not able to eat or sleep over the past week. I don't think I can wait 3 months for my own diagnosis.
I am also pretty sure he gave me herpes but it's only been a week, and no sores yet. God I hate this waiting game. I am so scared.
Please, I need your support.

Yes it was unprotected :(
I know there is just as much risk in a pool. I am just wondering mostly because he did not ejaculate.
I will wait out the 3 months and get the test but I am just really scared.

There have been hundreds of kids concived in pools and unprotected sex can lead to HIV infection. As for Duo tests they are conclusive at 3 months post exposure for a negative test result.

A test result that is nonreactive does not exclude the possibility of exposure to or infection with HIV-1 and/or HIV-2. Nonreactive results in this assay for individuals with prior exposure to HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 may be due to antigen and antibody levels that are below the limit of detection of this assay.
