How Soon Can I Test?

[shelby04]

Hello, it's been about 15 days after my exposure. I tested the following day after my exposure per my doc's recommendation. Not surprisingly those results where negative.

Now i've been feeling some strange symptoms. Mild muscle aches including one more sever in between my right shoulder and neck.  Fatigue and mild rashes in different parts of my body.

My exposure was probably a low risk (correct me if i'm wrong). I received unprotected oral sex and had male to male anal both ways, although it probably only lasted a few minutes each way since i couldn't get a full erection when i was the top.  

My main concern is when i was bottom, i'm not sure if the condom slipped off the other man's penis, although i did see him wearing it once i got up. That lasted about 5 minutes, i couldn't handle the pain as a bottom, it was my first time.

Neither of us ever "came" nor "pre-came" if that matters.

I was planning to go test again on Monday (18days) What are your thoughts?

I'm worried.

Thanks.

doesnt matter if it was old, as long as it didn't fail

Thanks, I was jus concerned the condoms might have been old and defective. Now I've started to have a flu like symptoms with much fatigue and some fever. That's why I'm concerned.

You never had a risk and don't need testing.

So i've heard.  Given my strange symptoms and my concern still, would 18 days be too soon to get a test? or should i wait until my 28th day and therefore be conclusive then?  The tests i get are blood drawn, i'm not sure what they're called. Thanks again.

condom failure is catastrophic.

[shelby04]

Thanks again. Do you mean "fail" as in breaking? I'm just concerned maybe it had some small tear or hole in them.

if the condom did not fail...then there was no risk

[shelby04]

Thank you, Just wanted to mention my main concern is the quality of the condoms used. They were in fact new but i'm not sure what type they were or if they had been expired or anything like that. The other man was a stranger so I guess i would also need some feedback on how 'weak' or effective condoms are assuming they were... old?

thanks again.

dont see where you had a risk...testing is not required
