Scared to death

What are the chances of catching HIV with a straight white guy of unknown status. They had been together for about 2 months, and she was sexual activity with different men of all ages. He is a very deceit guy (no use of drugs or homosexual). We had a one night stand back in January which included vaginal sex for about 15 minutes and oral sex. I am extremely worried because I don't know her past history. I am making myself have symptoms and I can't eat or sleep. I had a test about 3 weeks afterwards just

Your ten week test result will not change, I have never ever seen it past six weeks.

Pleasure :)

I really do expect you result to come back negative, the most important thing it will do, apart from confirming your status, is to put your mind at rest :)

Hi there.

What you need to do is to have a duo HIV test where blood is taken from the arm, not a rapid test.

This will be conclusive from 28 days so will easily cover your exposure, regardless of symptoms I expect your result to come back negative.

Although your other test was quite early any negative test is always a good sign, HIV is actually quite a hard virus to transmit.

Get your HIV Duo test any time from not just to make sure and put your. Ind at rest, always use a condom for sex and you will never have a worry.

You will be just fine :)

Best Wishes

James

Ps - when you get your negative result, please come back an tell us on here :)

I'm not sure I just got it done at the Health department. We had sex on the 12th of July and I had the test on the 24th of July

Yes it was unprotected and it lasted for about 15 minutes  and he did not ejaculate in me. I tried to talk to him about it and he acted like I was crazy he said I was fine. He is in the military so I'm not sure if he's been tested since their encounter.

I am so scared!! Everywhere I've read said it's hard for a middle class straight male that is circumcised to catch HIV. I am just worried about her status. It's the worst feeling ever.
