Post Need advice and reassurance

Hi

For all who don't know, here's my story;

About 5 weeks ago i was at my best friends party. We all got very drunk and i ended up in the same bed as his girlfriend. She had been flirting with me all night and we ended up touching eachother at first. It's the most ridiculous thing i've ever done and you wouldn't believe the amount of regret i feel. Basically, we had foreplay for about 10 mins on and off and i entered her for a matter of seconds - 4 at the most before i'd realised what had happened and withdrew. From what i remember, she was quite wet but i wasn't.

Anyway, i've been in talks with her ever since to find out her history. She's been with her boyfriend now for a year and they both had HIV and Std tests done upon starting their relationship. Both came back clear. Sam (her boyfriend - who is my best friend!!) has recently told me that he hasn't had sex with any women since the test and neither has she. He has however received oral on two occassions. I believe him 100%. She cries as i keep asking her about her history and whether i need to be worried! I feel really bad about this. Sam has had three STD and HIV checks in the past three years - all were clear.

Sam's previous relationship with another girl led to her having a baby, which incidently turned out not to be his - but which he thought was as they were in a long-term relationship and not using protection! Should i presume that, as the baby is healthy and well, that Sam is clean?

Since it happened i have been panicing everyday and have had a sore throat after an initial cold. I've had no fever, night sweats, rash, aching limbs or loss of appetite. I've had a spot of diarreah and stomach ache on occassion but nothing major (sorry about the detail). This is driving me mad and am having to lie to the girlfriend as i have stopped having sex with her since the incident - for obvious reasons!

I know this has been asked before but i really need some advice - now more than ever. Am i at risk and to what degree?

Please help, thankyou

Hi,

Like I have said many times before, coming here and looking for people to tell you that you do not have HIV is not going to help you. Concern warrants testing. You have health anxiety about HIV right now, and nothing any of us are going to say is going to help you in any way. You exposure was TOTALLY low risk. I believe you said you penetrated for like 4 seconds right? Unless you had an open sore on your penis, and she HAS HIV, then you really dont have anything to worry about whatsoever. If you dont believe me, go to ********.com, and post your questions in the Fears of Getting HIV forum. They are experts living with HIV, and will tell you the same thing I just did.

Good Luck

When you say sore, can you define this?
Thanks

Any area where the skin is cut, open, and where blood or vaginal fluid can enter your blood stream. Your penis hole dosrnt count in case you are wondering.

A pimple, wart, cut, scrape, etc.

Youre fine, relax yourself...
