German BiSexual Exposure Risk
Details:
Had unprotected vaginal sex w/BiSexual German man 4x during the Week of Sept 5th 06. No signs or symptoms of anything. Was diagnosed w/HPV week of April 12th 07. Had protected vaginal sex 1x with same man last week of April 07. May 10th 07 developed severe cough, aches and sore throat. Dr. prescribed amoxicilian (sp) on April 15th - healed quickly. Oct 5th 07 diagnosed w/pneumonia which has started the "Do I have HIV" obsession on the web. Purchased at home test kit from easykits and am currently waiting for their arrival.
My German guy said he had only 1 male encounter in his 20s and he is interested in larger woman - his PC porn collection supported this - He did say he was tested for HIV for work (he works w/needles and diagnostics) but I don't know if he is in denial about his sexuality.
Your thoughts? Thank you

My only thought is that every sexually active person should be periodically tested for HIV. Since you are having some worries about it, sounds like it is the perfect time to do it right now.
As far as your odds of actually having HIV: they are not zero, but still quite low, 1 in thousands. So I think that you will test negative. Be careful with home testing, the only good test is the Home Access test. The others are not approved for HIV testing.
