Chances of STI/STD
I had an encounter 2 weeks ago with another 18 year old girl (I am 18 also). It was unprotected but was only for a couple of minutes (was after a hard drinking sesh and struggled to stay erect). I know that there is an exposure here but with her only being 18, I doubt she would have HIV. Do you think I should get tested or wait until symptoms occur? I have been getting a sore throat / itchy skin.
Age doesnt play a factor as STIs can affect any sexually active person. If it was a short duration then yeah, it decreases the risk but the risk was still there.
Chlamyida - 2 weeks
Gono - 2 weeks
HIV - 4 weeks
Sypilis - 4 - 6 weeks
These are the windows periods for testing. Statistically you will be fine and stick with regular testing (every 6 months to a year) if you do not get symptoms.
