Thank youu so muchh for the info. This helped me a lot and I have been going to the hiv clinic a lot lately and have been in having greaat communications with her and she told me not to worrk but I am stuck with the same thoughts everyday and cant get away from it. I didnt something so out of my character and am living in gulit everday.
Yes your 9 weeks negative result is is very, very unlikely to change at 12 weeks when you can get a conclusive result. If your worried about the condom breaking from the oral sex, that is no risk and you don't need to follow up with testing. If your worried that the condom broke from vaginal sex, then do follow up for a conclusive result. You can check this link for your Herpes questions...

See your doctor if you are concerned. You don't have an HIV concern.
Thankk very much for your help that gave me some comfort for the oral part. But I am still concerned because the condom broke and I dont know exactly for how long. I am such an idiot and only 20 years old and have to live with this regret forever. My body is going through some changes and I know they are not normal. Should I feel some comfort abput my hiv testing at 9 weeks???
I am also really paranoid about catching herpes?! Could the abnormal feeling in my testicles be because of something else?
No incident HIV infections among MSM who practice exclusively oral sex.

There is no debate (among experts) about the HIV risks associated with oral sex. The risk is so low that almost nobody who cares for HIV infected patients has ever had a patient believed to have been infected that way. Among experts, it's a semantic issue about using terms like "no risk" and "very low risk". There is no difference between my or Dr. Hook's use of "low risk" and other experts' "no risk".
DR. HANSFIELD
"And oral sex is basically safe sex -- completely safe with respect to HIV and although not zero risk for other STDs, the chance of infection is far lower than for unprotected vaginal or anal sex. Please educate yourself about the real risks. If you stick with oral sex and condom-protected vaginal or anal sex, you have no HIV worries and very little worry about other STDs. " DR HANSFIELD
"I am sure you can find lots of people who belive that HIV is transmitted by oral sex, but you will not find scientific data to support this unrealistic concern..." DR HOOK
"HIV is not spread by touching, masturbation, oral sex or condom protected sex."- DR. HOOK
in the public HIV Prevention forum of MedHelp, TEAK and the other moderators maintain that oral sex in all forms is a zero risk activity. Would you agree with this assessment?
I TOTALLY AGREE / DR GARCIA
"The observation on thousands and thousands of observations is that HIV is not spread by oral sex (of any sort)." DR HOOK
Oral Sex is NO Risk for HIV even without a condom. You didn't have a risk for HIV from protected vaginal sex either.
I am not sure but now I am assuming that it was off. But sorry I cant tell ya because I do not know for certain. I know that makes it double as worst =(
Was the condom only off for the oral sex?
