getting tested.

[dandeliiion.livejournal.com]

i lost my virginity to my ex-boyfriend, he also lost his virginity to me. we always used condoms.

i recently just had sex again for the first time and it was unprotected. the guy had been with a lot of girls before me. he said he had been tested before and didn't have anything, but since he has been tested he had also been with a couple more girls (who had been with a lot of guys). he used a condom with them, though.

should i get tested? i've been crying, i'm so paranoid of having something now. what are the odds of me getting something? is there anything i could have gotten that would not be detectable from a test that i could still then give to someone else?

can i get tested at planned parenthood? do i have to make an appointment? how much does it cost?

thank you for any information.

I'd make an appointment with your local PP. (http://www.plannedparenthood.org) Costs vary between tests and centers. When you call for your appointment, they can tell you if you qualify for their sliding scale.

I'm really sorry you are having a rough time with this! I would make an appointment as soon as possible. Knowledge is power, so if it helps, read up on the different tests - but if it will just make you worry more, try to find something to distract you for the next couple of days.

*hugs* I hope everything goes okay!
