The other night I slept with someone who I didn't know very much and I didn't know his HIV status .. We had intercourse both ways (I fucked him and he fucked me) and we both didn't have condoms on... Good thing is, he didn't cum inside me and I didn't suck him so he only came on my chest but penetration still happened and there was direct contact from Penis to my anus..
Anyway, I freaked out the next day about what happened and asked him about his HIV so he said he tests every two months and his status is negative... I was too paranoid and didn't listen to him... So I went and tested within 13 hours after the intercourse (Which was on wednesday) and I got the results today, luckily the antibodies in my system are (0.7) which means I am Negative. But I read somewhere that antibodies take time to develop so I'd have to wait and see what happens? Dude, I freaked out enough about this ... I want to know something reassuring...
Do Antibodies develop within 12 hours from intercourse? Is my test result reliable? Does it mean I'll be fine when i test in a couple of months? Could use all the help I can get plzzz ...

Normally you wait three months before being tested. I don't wish to alarm you but that is how I understand things. There may be others who know better than I. Don't forget either that you can get other STDs by not wearing a condom.

Thanks for the comment but getting other STDs did not help my situation .. Made it worse even haha

We all take risks from time to time. It's not possible to live life being alert to every little harm there is and still enjoy it.
It is highly unlikely that you will get HIV from one time unprotected sex. So just relax. Get tested at 3 months to be sure. But otherwise, I wouldn't worry too much.

I don't suppose PrEP is available to you in Jordan? Read this maybe?

You may know that Michael Lucas is a porn movie director and also note that this article is dated 2013 and that Michael Lucas is not a doctor. Look up Truvada and PrEP on other sites.

Do Antibodies develop within 12 hours from intercourse?
Is my test result reliable?
Does it mean I'll be fine when i test in a couple of months?
Antibodies don't develop that quickly. Your test gives you a picture of your status from a couple months ago. Still, it was worth doing. Your test result is reliable as of a couple of months ago.
Even if he didn't cum in you, you did receive his precum. Last I read which was ages ago, the receptive partner would have the odds of about 1 in 50 of being infected from a positive partner. If your partner was indeed negative, your odds of being infected by him is zero. So chances are pretty good either way you dodged a bullet *this* time.
When you test in a couple of months, then you will really have this incident behind you and know for sure.
Going forward, just assume that every guy you are with is POZ no matter what they tell you and take appropriate precautions. Don't have anal sex without condoms and/or being on PreP. If you find yourself with a guy and you don't have condoms, just have all those other types of fun sex without any dicks in butts. It's really pretty simple.
I agree with the suggestion to talk to your medical provider about going on PreP. You are having sex with multiple partners, (which is normal and fine,) so you are a prime candidate for PreP.
Worrying isn't going to help. Knowledge, action, and self discipline going forward is the way to go.

The test won't tell you anything about this encounter. You'll have to go get tested again in three months.

But remember that PrEP will only protect against HIV and as I said in my previous post, there are multiple STDs that can be contracted in unprotected sex.

Of course I agree, but what I'm worried about is whether this is available to him in Jordan. Maybe he can get Truvada, but I'd definitely read up on it before using it. The best would be to have a doctor's opinion. There is surely a gay doctor who can advise him, but does he know one?

verysimple Wrote:Thanks for the comment but getting other STDs did not help my situation .. Made it worse even haha Listen, @ verysimple, take your sexual health seriously. Get tested in another couple of months, get advice about PrEP if that's available to you in Jordan. Find out as much as you can about safer sex, get educated and educate other people around you. AIDS is not something you want, but you'd also, as @ LONDONER has suggested, want to keep yourself free from other sexually transmitted diseases, as much as is possible.
In ignorance STDs find a bed for thriving. We don't need to add to the number of sexually infected men because of ignorance and bad practices, do we? The gay population has already enough to deal with as a risk group for us not to give the heterosexuals the occasion to gloat or accuse us about our discomfort and our poor state of health (mental and physical). That would be adding insult to injury.
On a more positive note, good luck [MENTION=21000]verysimple[/MENTION].
