Unprotected Sex -- one time

I apologize for joining the chorus of voices that seem to be asking this question or similar ones, but I can't seem to find any reliable answers online. I am a gay male who has been sexually inactive for 3 years. Yesterday, I was at a party and got drunk and ended up hooking up with someone I didn't know. We had unprotected oral sex and then unprotected anal sex. I entered him, he did not enter me, but the only lubrication was saliva. I did not ejaculate in him, but the activity lasted for about ten minutes.

I realize I need to be tested (and plan to at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months), but I'm hoping to get a realistic statistic to help me put the situation in perspective.

3 months will be conclusive...

Thanks for this information. I wanted to update and see if you wouldn't mind putting me at ease (i'm finding that I'm in a self-inflicted obsession here). About 2 weeks after exposure, I came down with a fewer, sweats, chills, and sore throat. Those symptoms are are still with me (after 2 weeks).

I got anxious and so I was tested (blood) at 3 weeks, which came back negative.

Does the test "really" show anything? Should I be concerned about ARS?

I need to snap out of this, but find that I am constantly reading and thinking about this. I appreciate your previous help and am hoping you can help me out a bit more with information.

I believe the transmission statistic quoted in the expert forum here for topping someone is 1 in 500, IF the partner had HIV.

As Teak said you only have to test out to 3 months.
