Hi, I was just wondering and hoping someone can help me out here. About four months ago I foolishly had a one night stand. I was sober so I was pretty aware of the situation, non-the less I had protected sex with a woman I do not know. Well needless to say afterwards I was very paranoid and 3 weeks later got tested for STD's and came back clean. After 3 and a half months I even tested negative for Herpes. Needless to say I was relieved and learned a valuable lesson. But for some reason lately I've been fearing the thought I might have contracted HIV. I try and tell myself that the chances are not that high and probably don't but who knows? I had a condom on the whole time even for oral. As a matter of fact there wasn't even much skin to skin contact other than her using her hand on me. Well I still think about this day over and over and is without a doubt the dumbest thing I have ever done. Yet in a way a GREAT learning experience. I know soooooo much about STD's I feel like a doctor. I have invested countless hours learning everything about STD's. So in a way I'm wiser now and know I would not put myself in a situation like that ever again. I just want to move on and put this behind me. So my question here is, do I have any reason to worry about this? Or should I count my blessings and consider myself lucky based on my negative results for Herpes, Syphillis, Chlyamidia, and Gonnoreah? Thanks for any help. It is greatly appreciated.

hey, big hug to you for being so honest and obviously trying to do the right thing. you are at very little risk for HIV. you did the right thing by using a condom. that is wonderful to have no STD's, but as you know, an STD does not have to accompany HIV. the only way you can get that little wondering voice out of your head is to get tested. don't be like me and wait a year and a half and a husband and baby later. you will breathe a big sigh of relief when you get the results back as it sounds like it will be squeaky clean. keep being safe, you are going to be just fine! :D

You used a condom so you are at no risk for HIV. Other STD's are much easier to catch, but HIV is not that easy. I would not worry too much if I were you, you used a condom and did the right thing.

Thanks for ur replies, I appreciate them. I know that is probably the case but I still worry A LOT. I've had so much anxiety about all of this the past 4 months that I realize casual sex probably isn't worth it. I think I will put this behind me, I used a condom so I should be fine. I cant do this to myself, first I feared Herpes now this! I have to relax. Thanks again.
