Am I still at Risk?

[Doodledee5050]

Hi There,

I'm a usually Hetrosexual male but about 8 weeks ago, after a very drunken night out, I engaged in a sexual encounter with another male. The encounter involved fingering, oral and rimming (both on each other) as well as a very brief moment where I inserted into his anus unprotected( less than a minute and only like three thrusts as I panicked and it wouldn't insert properly)

I am racked with guilt and anxiety and so a four days later visited a clinic and had a full screening where all the results came back negative.

After 3 weeks I had a standard finger prick test for HIV which also came back negative.

At 4 weeks I had a Biolytical HIV Insti Test which also was a negative and also a Chalmyida and Gonnoreha screening which also came back negative.

At 5 weeks I had a Syphallis test which came back negative!

At 6 weeks I had a 4th Gen Duo HIV test which came back negative

The lovely health nurse at the clinic told me that I don't need to come back if i didn't want to and would only need to come back to ease my anxiety but she doesn't expect my results will change and told me it was purely down to me but she said to stop worrying so much.

The question i'm asking is, should I listen to the Nurse and move on with my life? Or am I very still much at risk and need further testing? I'm so confused as to what to do and how much risk i'm still at!

I know my HIV risk is now over at the 6 week stage but what about the others? Can a negative Chalmydia and Gonorreah test turn postive at a later stage even though I had a negative result at 4 weeks? (swab and urine sample) I'm so worried still and need to be able to move on!

Virtually no risk for std from your encounter combined with your negative test. You need to listen to the nurse and move on

Thank you and what about Trichomoniasis,  I haven't been tested for that either?

So no chance that my Chlam or Gonn test will turn positive?

[Jaimeortiz]

Wait I just read again did you insert your finger in? Or something else?

[Doodledee5050]

Very Briefly, my penis

[Jaimeortiz]

If just your finger there’s virtually no risk and if I was you I would have not tested for anything. Either way you should believe your test and move on no need to test for anything else

[Jaimeortiz]

Ok so there was some risk but your negative results and the fact you have no real symptoms should be strong evidence you did not get anything from this encounter

[Doodledee5050]

Thanks Jaime, can I ask where your knowledge comes from? So I don't need to test for Trich either? I can safely assume everything is conclusive!?

[Jaimeortiz]

My knowledge comes from reading 100ths of questions like yours on several expert forums and extensive reading on std facts. Have you tested for hsv1 and 2? Also low risk there if you must test do so at 12 weeks. I would not test if I was in your shoes  

[Jaimeortiz]

No need to test for thrich

[Doodledee5050]

Why no need for Thrich testing? Thanks so much for your assitance, hadn't thought to test for HS1 and HS2 as read it's inaccurate and should only test if you have symptons!

[Jaimeortiz]

Thrich main way of transmission is vaginal sex, honestly all the test you took are over board. The reason is that most people do not have stds, most onetime unprotected encounters with an infected partner do not lead to infection. You have no symptoms. You combine those 3 things and your odds that you got something from your brief encounter are slim. Hsv1 blood test miss 30% of infection and 8% of hsv2 not to mention there is a high false positive rate in the lower indexes of the test. That is why if I was you I would not test. The chance of getting either on a brief encounter like what you described are slim

Thanks Jaime, appreciated...
