Question. Little Worried
« on: August 20, 2007, 09:36:20 pm »
Alright, here it goes...  About two years ago, October 2005 I was 16 years old and very stupid and went to a party with older people. I went to a party and done the stupidest thing in my life.  I got drunk...  drunk enough to pass out.  I woke up and there were two guys sucking my penis, and one of them started to finger my anus.  It scared me to death, I couldn't believe it was happening and I didn't want it too.  It couldn't have gone on no more than 2-5 minutes?  Fingering about 10 seconds.  I feel stupid because I got curious for a minute and let it go on, then I stopped it.  I got up and went to the car and left.  I was scared. 

So my exposure was unprotected oral and anal fingering.  From posts I've read here I should be VERY encouraged, and don't really believe I've been put into any risk at all.  So my question is.  Do I need to test, is it warranted?  I don't feel like I need to and believe I'm all right.  This has been my only sexual encounter in my life, and it obviously didn't go the way I wanted it to be.  I'm one of those guys that wants to wait till he gets married.  I guess all the recent worries have been is I am getting married and a little worry I'm dealing with, but I believe I am ok.  What do you guys think?

Since this has been my only encounter and you say no risk, there's no reason to test right?

That's right. You don't have any need to be tested. Get on with your life and make sure that everytime you have intercourse, when you do, that you're wearing a latex condom. No exceptions!

Cheers,
