what test to take...

[dontknowhat]

I hooked up with a woman at a bar and without me even asking, she wanted to come home with me.  Well guess what, I had sex with her using a condom but for all practical purposes I have no choice but to assume she is HIV positive hence my risk is way too high to bear and leave it unresolved.  I have tried to appease myself because the condom did not break but what if I got some of her fluids somewhere on myself?  always possible.  This happened 12 days ago.  I want to know my HIV status really soon.  I will probably die from anxiety if I have to wait several months.  Is there a quick test I can do so I can go back to work and try to be productive rather than read HIV forums at work all day?

Thanks for any suggestions in advance.

Thanks Teak and Lizzie!  That doctor has a tendency to blow everything out of proportion.  

In this case, after reading so many posts by worried people and how you guys have proven your educated risk assessment and advice, I will take your words and move on with my life and find a new doctor.  I did a routine blood work in August and I was clear across the board.  So I will wait some time and do another routine test.  But for now, I will breath easy.

Please stay well you guys!!!

Then not only is your doctor uneducated in HIV, if she said she seen people contract hiv with protected sex is totally a lie. You didn't have a risk and you don't need testing. Find a new doctor that is educated in HIV if you ever have a risk.

sorry i admit i have gone paranoid because believe me or not my primary care doctor says any sexual activity is a risk for HIV and she also told me that she has seen a number of cases where her patients got infected even with condom protected sex.  she gave me a pamphlet that supported her claims - mainly saying that if you had sex with an anonymous person, get tested but she told me to wait and literally quarantine my self from any sexual activity for three months or so.  Who is overreacting, me or her?  Am I really at such a high risk?  most of the informed people here tend to think that HIV is really hard to acquire let alone with a condom but my doctor would disagree adamantly.  I am too scared to do anything, would not even call my GF.  This is ruining me.

you had condom protected sex and were never at risk.

hiv is transmitted through...
unprotected vaginal/anal intercourse
sharing iv drug works
mother to child

it is not spread by fluids "touching" other parts of your body.

testing is not warranted for the situation that you have described above.
