I just had unprotected sex on Sunday. It all happened so fast. Only now am I able to really think clearly about the bad situation I've put myself into.
When I made the decision to have sex with this man, I divulged to him my recent diagnosis with Herpes Simplex Virus type 2. He didn't seem to be phased by it, which gave me a sense of relief, and I figured that if he had anything he would have told me about it then, too. It was only after we stopped that he told me he has never been tested. I did not notice any abnormalities on or around his pubic region, but I am aware that not all people with STD's show symptoms.
The important things that happened that make me feel better about the encounter is that he did not ejaculate at all, and whenever he felt pre-cum surfacing he would pull out and wipe it off with a cloth. These actions lead me to believe that my risk of exposure to any type of STD is greatly decreased, but I know I won't have peace of mind until I am tested and am hopefully given negative results on all counts. Also, I purchased the morning-after pill the day after intercourse, so I know I will not be pregnant.
What I really need to know is what some other people think, because I am still feeling scared and alone, waiting until enough time has passed for me to be tested. Thanks.
