Hi,
About a month ago I gave and received unprotected fellatio in a gay sauna, including swallowing.
I developed a chest infection about a week ago, but I don’t think it’s related as the people I live with also caught it. I have some tenderness in the testicles, but I often have that during/following a fever (the chest infection), though that obviously is something that could be related.
Anyway, as time has gone on, I realised it would be prudent to be tested?
However due to a disability (ME/CFS) I’d rather not have a blood test, as they can be a bit of an ordeal. I found these home testing kits that only need a few drops of blood via finger prick, and don’t need to be sent to a pathology lab.

I was wondering if these tests are reliable, and if I should test for anything other than HIV, chlamydia and gonorrhea?
Should I post in HIV prevention, as well?
Thank you in advance
