Thank you. Yea I initially believed my 90 day test but anxiety got the better of me. I have spent way to much $ testing. The riskiest part of my exposure lasted like 5 seconds and I am just a hypochondriac. Every little itch, bump, tingle just sets off alarms . Thanks man. I wish i could enjoy my day but I'm working long hours this week lol
There is no "riskiest" part of your exposure.  No risk is no risk, which is what your entire encounter was - no risk.

You were never at risk for transmission of HIV.

Oral sex is not a risk. Condoms are sufficient barrier. You didn't need a test to determine your HIV status for this event since it was absolutely risk free.

Thank you. I will try and seek help lowering my anxiety about this situation. I have realized hookups are not my thing and cause alot of undue stress for me.
