So I stupidly had a one night stand with a partner of unknown status. We had oral and penile-vaginal intercourse. A condom may have been used but I'm not entirely positive because we were both intoxicated.
I am well past the 3 month window (have not had any other sexual partners since) and have wanted to get tested just to ease my mind but I am so paranoid about getting a bad result that I haven't been able to bring myself to do it. I guess I am just thinking the worst.
So I have 2 questions
1) Approximately what is my risk from this one time encounter?
2) What do you think of using the at home Oraquick tests? I think taking the test at home may ease my anxiety about it.
Thank you for your help!View Thread

Thank you for your response. I apologize for the omission, I'm a female.
So 10 per 10,000 exposures...that is essentially less than 1%, correct?View Thread
