Hi guys,
Haven't posted in a while so this will be long. I'm 20 years old, male, and gay. I'm not gonna lie, I do like sex and I do sleep around a bit. However, I always always use protection, get tested twice a year etc. A few weeks back I had unprotected sex with a guy when I was a bit tipsy and he ejaculated inside me (disgusting, I know). I started to panic the next day so I called him and asked if he had HIV and he said he had done a test the week before which was negative. So now I'm terrified I have HIV! I'm going for a test on Thursday but I've already spoke to a doctor and she told me that HIV is very hard to catch. She said most people get HIV after being continuously exposed to it. She said I should still test but my chances of having it are about 1%. I don't know why I'm worrying so much :( I haven't had any flu like symptoms and I feel fine. My main question is whether or not HIV is hard to get? Would I have to have exposure after exposure? And do you think the Dr is right?
Thanks everyone
