I'm sorry you are in a state of panic, it's not an easy thing to come to grips with - I know.
You really need to contact your doctor or Planned Parenthood for testing, it really is your best option. You cannot sit and fear what might be because you will only build so much fear up. It's better to be brave and face this and then, when all is said and done, move on with your life.
Alot of std's/sti's don't show symptoms within women and this is why it's always best to get tested every 6 - 12 months if you are sexually active. You would just request an std panel test, along with testing for syphilis and HIV. You should not feel embarassed - doctor's applaud people who are honest enough for testing. You can also request an HPV test, which would be done during your pap exam.
IF and big IF anything should come back positive, they will have you come in to do another test (like a standard gold test) to make sure it isn't a false positive result. (some tests are so sensitive they pick up on everything and you may get a strange reading).
Just breathe, go in and then when it's done - let it go and move on with the knowledge you have now. We all make mistakes in our life. No std/sti is a true death sentence.

Go have a test done now!! What u have done is something u are not proud of, buts its done and there is little u can do.
If u have any self dignity, u will be brave and get ur test done.
U are far more likely to not have it, but if u are positve then early detection is the most crucial thing.
Ppl can live with HIV for a very long time provide they eat correctly and take ARVs.
Wish u all the best

It takes 3-6 months for it to show on a test, as your body produces antibodies to the virus. That's what shows on the test. If you take the test early and it's negative you will need another one if it was recent that you had sex.
Honestly, don't worry too much. HIV is horrible and you don't want it, but if it's positive you won't die until you're old - it's really well managed these days. Fingers crossed you will be fine!
An early result = longer life.

its better to get diagnosis early. you can't change the past only the furture. So go to the doctor and take a test. Yahoo answers not going to help you. Or you could call the 2 people who you had sex with and ask if there HIV postive (they might lie to you) so thats not a good way to tell but it would make you feel better but knowing will make you feel a lot better

HIV is not the end of the world. People live positively for a long time and achieve all their dreams whilst in that same boat. So take your time, think about it carefully and think of the way forward. Don't forget to tell your parents for they can be of great support though angry and disappointed in you at first but with time, they'll forgive you and help you move on with your life.And most of all, now your status to live life happily and confidently.

You know what needs to be done.
and hopefully you have learned, it might not be HIV it could very well be other stds so dont just get tested for HIV, test for everything. to be sure.
if you end up being positive, make the best out of it. the sooner u find out the better.

1 in 4 people do NOT have HIV. Do not let that statement worry. Get tested at 3 months post exposure for your most accurate test.

Go get tested its confidential and free at your local helth department. You must be really worried. Don't stress yourself just get the test. If your wrong great but if your right the sonner you get tested the better. Modern day drugs help a lot but its crucial to get diagnosed at an ealry stage.
Merry Christmas Good luck
Happy

Next time use protection! Just calm down. just dont do it again. Take a test, sweat it out, say a prayer. Safe sex 100% of the time & youll be okay. My best friend had a one night stand with this guy and cried and cried thinking she has AIDS. She was fine. Pray hard & dont do it again..
