Made a stupid mistake now I'm scared!

Hello. I made a terrible mistake and now I feel awful. I have a steady boyfriend whom I haven't seen in about 2 weeks because he's been working a lot. Because I haven't seen him and we haven't seen eye to eye on certain things I have linked up with my ex boyfriend. My ex boyfriend have had sex on three occassions during that 2 1/2 week braket. I'm afraid because all of these encounters have been unprotected and I have also been having sex with my boyfriend unprotected. I am scheduled to get bloodwork and a general checkup with my doctor but I've been so worried. The last time my boyfriend and I had sex was on september 6. And with my ex bf its been september 21, 29 and yesterday. Again all unprotected :-( I'm scared I might have caught something and am just overall guilty.

Here's your chance.

Chances he has hiv 1/10,000
Chance of you getting it IF he's positive 1/1000 per exposure

Do the math on that and relax. Most hiv experts say a 4th generation antibody test at 6 weeks is 99.89% accurate.

My advive, get a duo test at 4 weeks and forget it.

Also, I am scheduled to have bloodwork done today will those results apply to my current bf being that I've been unprotected with him since november last year. I've only had intercourse with my ex towards the end of september.

No he is 100% straight and neither of them use. I just need to calm down its just so difficult. I'm usually very careful and all for protection as I am not on birth control.

The best way to approach this is to be sure that you use protection with your BF until you can obtain conclusive results.  You will never be able to assess your HIV status by symptoms or by looking at your vagina.  

Unless your ex-BF has sex with other men, or is an IV drug abuser, it's highly unlikely he is infected anyway.

Symptoms or lack of will not tell you anything about your status the only way to know your status is by testing.

Also, if there was no ejaculation inside but outside on my stomach what are the risks.

Sorry for asking so many questions I am thinking too much and reading through the posts.
