Unprotected sex...What sould I do? (not a pregnacy question)?


Question:
OK... I had unprotected sex with a guy that I know gets around alot. When things started to get steamy, we didnt stop to use a condom. I could tell from the way he was acting that he may not use them regulary, and probably dosnt have protected sex with many of his other partners. I feel a dirty today and I am worried that I may pf gotton something.

What should I do? This is not a normal thing for me and I am normally so very careful. Should I wait a particular period of time before getting tested? By that I mean should I wait a litle while incase I go and get tested now and it comes up negative, but then later on i notice that I do have something. Do STI and STD's show in your system straight away?

Answers:
Some will show up straight away, and some will take a while. It can take up to 2 months for HIV to show up, so there are usually follow up tests and a longer wait than for the other results.
What you need to do is go to the doctor straight away and explain the situation. He or she will be able to do the appropriate tests now and advise you on follow up treatments or testing. Don't wait to go though, it's best to get it sorted out as quickly as possible. Also, make sure you don't have unprotected sex again until the clearence period is over (not that you should ever!) to make sure that you don't potentially infect anyone else.
Mistakes happen, and obviously you know not to make the same mistake twice, but don't beat yourself up too much over it, you're doing the right thing now by taking responsibility for your actions.
Good luck, and I hope everything is ok. Take care.
Get tested now, then again in about 2 weeks. Some of them take awhile to show up. The doctor will be able to schedule you an appropriate appointment.
just to be sure get tested regurlarly if ur sexually active with multiple partners
