Stupid stupid move
Hi,
I had sex 2 weeks ago with a man I met on a dating site. I had been talking to him for about 3 weeks. He is a 35 year old Caucasian, lives in NJ, has a full time job and has a very nice upper muscular build. I don't even know why I felt it was necessary to describe him, but I am just aiming not to leave anything out of the open.
We drank a little too much wine and we had unprotected sex twice that night, and once again in the morning. He ejaculated inside of me every time we had sex.
I texted him and asked him if he had any diseases, he replied no. I have never had an STD or any sexually transmitted disease and I am freaking out. I did take a Plan B to avoid pregnancy, which clearly worked because I started menstruation today. All that has been on my mind is that I contracted HIV. I keep reading about all the early symptoms on WEBMD and I am making myself physically ill. I have been so scared that I don't sleep. I am also nauseous but not throwing up. I do not have fever but I feel like I have neck and slight throat discomfort. No rashes anywhere. I have no signs of genital rash other than an ingrown hair. I am going to get tested on November 14 but I need some sanity before I do. Hypochondriac much?

Look it was unprotected sex so you must test at 3 months post exposure but i am sure you will come out negative , in future dont take risk with your life
I would take a DUO test at 4 weeks & then an antibody test at the 3 month mark.We all make mistakes so be hard on yourself is not going to help.If the guy was 100% hetro then your chances of contracting HIV are slim,if he was bisexual it would increase the risk.Just try & be calm now and test at the correct times.A negative DUO test at 4 weeks will be very reassuring.All the best.
