i've been through these forums, and for
the most part I know the basic stuff, so
i'll give a little background info about
myself. I'm a 20 year old gay male and
have only had oral sex. I've only had
oral with about 4 people and i've never
swallowed or came into contact with the
sperm when they've ejaculated. I don't do
drugs or anything like that either. On
the 1st of december I gave my boyfriend at
the time a blowjob and he gave me one too.
I didn't really give him all that long of
a one because I wasn't feeling so well,
and I definitely don't remember coming
into contact with any of his pre-cum.
A few days later we broke up because I
found out he was sleeping around. This
makes me scared because I don't know what
he might've been doing with other people
and if I could potentially have hiv. I
know oral sex represents a low risk, so
would it be worth the time to go and take
one of those free rapid oral hiv tests?
Also this occurred on december 1st and I
want to get tested right away. 12 weeks
will be february 23. There are free
walk-in tests around me every monday, and
the few mondays after the 23rd I will be
gone and busy on a trip for my schooling.
So if I get a test on monday, feb 19th
would that allow enough time to have a
conclusive result? Or do those few extra
days make a difference? I know it's good
to get tested again at 6 months, but i've
researched most other countries aids
policy other than the us and they state a
negative at 3 months can be conclusive as
a negative result.
Thank you for your help, i've just been so
worried!

I hope you found the help you needed. How
are you doing?
It is recommended to take two tests
because there are some slow progressors
whose tests won't up positive until after
six months.
