Okay so my new sex partner has been through more than 20 sexual relationships(PROTECTED SEX). And I've been through only 4(also PROTECTED SEX).
So we decided to become sexual partners for the former two weeks. First week was okay and we had UNPROTECTED sex TWICE!
Second week we also had UNPROTECTED sex twice...
I am SUPER scared,nervous,worried and much anxious about HIV,STD,AIDS and whatever STD crap there is to carry...
So does anyone here know, as an expert in this stuff when's the PERFECTLY RIGHT TIME to get an HIV test?
Should I wait 3-6months? Or how long?
Also, don't you think I'm in great danger?
Thank you for simply starting or taking a moment read my worries and questions.
High fives to all
Thanks again x) ! (link)

You should both get STD tests ASAP! HIV tests can be gotten for free without insurance so there's no reason to wait. They will probably ask that you repeat the test in 3-6 months.
Even if your partner comes out HIV negative, you should both wait at least 3 months and get tested again before resuming unprotected sex. This is because the standard HIV test doesn't work when someone is newly infected. About half of all people are infected by someone who would come out NEGATIVE on one of these tests! This because someone who is newly infected is very infectious.

ok hi, so I'm 15 and I decided I don't want to have sex but I don't mind giving oral sex like blow jobs. I am just really scared of STD's and so my question is "is there anything to look for before I do it? Like is there any signs that this person has an STD" this might be a dumb question but I just want to be careful. Please give me your opinion and facts. (link)

Oral sex is generally fairly safe. However, there are some risks. The risks increase if you are having multiple partners or if your partners have multiple partners.
Probably the greatest risk to you is that you could get oral herpes (cold sores) from someone with genital herpes.
You will probably notice if someone has open sores on their penis, but there is a window when people with genital herpes are infectious, but the sores haven't developed yet. In this case you might notice a tiny red bump but it's unlikely you'll notice anything at all- particularly if they have pubic hair covering it.
You could possibly also catch gonorrhoea or chlamydia of the throat. Fortunately both are curable, unlike herpes. An STD test would pick up whether your partner has gonorrhoea or chlamydia.
Less likely than herpes or gonorrhoea/clamydia, it is possible to contract an HPV infection that could lead to throat cancer. This is a very rare occurrence. The strains of HPV that cause cancer are unknown and it is impossible to tell if someone has it, because it is no test for it in an STD test, and there is no outward sign of it. (Some strains of HPV can cause warts but these are NOT the strains of HPV that cause cancer.)
Simply put, you cannot tell whether someone will give you an STD or not just by looking at them. The best way to limit your exposure is to know your partners sexual history (i.e. it is better to choose virgins- which hopefully many 15 year old guys are :)) and to limit the number of partners you have unprotected sex with.

Are you on anti-retroviral therapy for HIV infection?
In an HIV positive person, HAART can actually increase Heb C viral load. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15302141
So it is very unlikely that being on HAART would lead to a negative PCR test. HAART does not work well against Hep C in general and actually increases viral load in con-infected people. It works somewhat in Hep B patients without HIV co-infection, but not to the point of an undetectable viral load.
Obviously you should ask your doctor but in this case I think it's unlikely you are hep C pos if you have a negative PCR test and a negative antibody test, regardless of your HIV status and what kind of anti-retroviral therapy you are on.
