Unprotected Gay Sex
Hello, please don't ridicule me for this or attempt to teach me a lesson that I can swear to you I've already learned.
Two nights ago I had unprotected gay sex with a 20-year-old man and let him penetrate me without protection for a good amount of time (probably 15 minutes). We had never met before, and I have no way of contacting him. Beforehand, I asked him if he was "clean," and he responded by showing me some papers from a week beforehand where he had been tested. I didn't look at them very well at all, but decided to trust him in the moment. Now, however, I cannot help but feel concerned and worried about the potential contraction of some sort of STD. What are my odds here, and what should I do?
Clearly, I will never have unprotected sex again. This was a one-time deal. Thank you for any advice.

Hi,
Unprotected sex is a risk of contacting hiv. You can take a duo test at 4 weeks after the initial exposure and be aware of your status. It is a reliable test. If negative you can confirm it with another test 3 months after your initial exposure but trust me a negative result will not change then. Till the proper time of the test try to keep calm.
