Thanks Lizzie, I'm suffering from this one stupid act of mine.. Everything that I see/experience making me worried and feel insecure of the incident that happened almost a month ago.

Except for the experts from this forum, everyone else (health professionals at my place) convincing me to take the hiv/std test where the conclusive test can be obtained after 6 months of exposure.

This is the only site which advice me not to worry about it as it carries 0% risk. I know you guys have great experience in this area, and i should believe you guys more. Sorry for troubling you guys.

Im just scared I will be infected with it which I cannot afford to. Thank you very much for helping and reading my post. May God bless you all.
