For conclusive HIV results its good to test after 6 weeks to 12, thats the window period...

If you have had unprotected vaginal or anal sex then you need to test.

yeah sorry it was two seperate times, i had protected sex for the first time with the same guy as before (on sat -sun) and the psoriasis came the following friday, i'd never had it before and it came up everywhere, but my uncle has had it before. then i had       unprotected sex a while after and had the pain in my stomach and was sick had a mild fever.

and panicked ever since. everytime i go on the internet the symptoms seem endless so i can always find something i'v had which scares me (like ulcers in mouth i'v had those come and go for years only ever one now and again but now it seems like a sign). i keep trying to stop myself and wait for my results but we had bad snow and ice so they have been badly delayed.

its been a while since these because i had never really looked into it, and had general sexual health test for everything else, but the HIV test always seemed a little daunting and the put me in a low risk catagory after asking loads of question about if id had sex with anyone from abroad, or had and tattoos or piercing's which i dnt. but i googled it and haven't slept properly since. im also really concerned if im having sex with my current bf we use condoms but i dnt want to give anything to him, i couldn't live with myself. i havent had sex with him since i'v been concerned just in case but he does ask if im alright though so hes getting suspicious but i dnt want him to have all the worry iv had about it, its on my mind constantly and im in ters most of the night. and i don't want him to have that un necessarily. and i also dont want to lose him.

I had unprotected sex with a guy i didn't know very well, we were sort of dating but it had only been a few weeks, we got very drunk one night and thats why i didnt make him wear a condom,

Let me expand a little more. Protected sex is no risk. Psoriasis is not a symptom, symptoms if one gets them do not start after 5 days.

But the biggest thing to remember is PROTECTED SEX IS NOT A RISK.
