If you had an RNA test for HIV and an STD panel done, then all you can do is wait and hope for the very best outcome. If prayer works for you, then pray.
I am not religious, but I, too, will offer you all the hope in my heart that you are healthy.

Thank you for your kind words I  really appreciate it.. Rna came back negative and herpes.. still waiting  on everything  
how long after your encounter, you experienced the pain? (if a few days, this is too quick for Chlamydia and Gonno to creat the pain, this will only happen if it's there for a long long time, so at least several month.Next to that how long after your encounter did you test?
For testing: normal STD's 2 weeks
HIV and Syphilis: 6-8 weeks.And confirmation at 12 weeks for conclusive result.(with 4th gen most experts will say 6-8 weeks is conclusive, but most countries still have guidelines on 12 weeks to be sure)
I Took The Rna About Three Weeks After Our First Encounter And The Rest Of The Test As well... I Will Take Another Rna In A Couple weeks

ok. But still I understand that RNA test is not really recommendable at 3 weeks still. Anyway test for HIV at 6-8 weeks with 4th gen. Furthermore for Chlamydia/Gonno meds it's always recommended to not have unprotected sex for at least a week. Otherwise it's possible to reinfect each other as within the week there is a chance of still having some bacterias.

If you are going to take a second test, which is advisable, do an antibody test.
It's cheaper, less prone to false positives and a better supplement to your already negative RNA.

Expect a negative.

Thanks.. I took an antibody test, but my doctor said it will be too early to know.. So, in-between I think I will take another rna just to keep screening.. It is expensive, but my anxiety is crazy so I'd rather pay and know than to be curl up in a corner rocking back and forth.. Like I'm doing now as I type this
