What else should I test for?
EXPOSURE: I was drugged, raped anally and orally by two males, without protection obviously. No apparent blood or *** on underwear or anal area. (Sorry so graphic). Was beat up pretty bad. I am a heterosexual male as well.
POST-EXPOSURE: I went to the doctor 6 weeks after the event and was testing for Chlamydia, Gonorrhea,
Syphilis, and HIV. The doctor treated me for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea that day with a one time dose of two different kinds of pills. One was a single pill and the other was a set of 3 pills. She said just to treat it just incase. The good news is that all Tests came back negative. The HIV test I took was ELISA. I was then put on Lexapro for anxiety and was sent to see a mental health professional. I have been seeing my mental health doc for the last 6 weeks. I have a 13 week HIV ELISA test on next week Tuesday.
QUESTIONS:
1. Am I ok against the STDS that I tested for at 6 weeks?
2. I was vaccinated against Hep B when I was younger probably age 10 or 8. (Now early 20's) Am I safe against Hep B?
4. Do I have to worry about being infected with Hep C from this exposure?
5. What other STDs should I be screened for?
Thank You in advance...this has been the hardest time in my life...and I just want to be healthy and not infect anyone in the future(my wife).

6 weeks is considered conclusive for syphilis. You are fine. Now, go and work on putting this behind you. Please consider talking to a therapist about what has happened to you, the emotional consequences run deeper than the physical.
2terrified you were right that my syphilis test was tested by blood. does anyone know if i can be confident that i do not have syphilis with a 6 week negative test? or should i retest.
PS my 13 week HIV Elisa test came back negative!

Syphilis is only tested by blood. It was chlamydia and gonorrhea that was most likely tested by urine. You have covered your bases for the most part. I would test for herpes and hepatitis around the 4 month time frame. I'm sorry you had to experience this brutal crime.
