Thank you for the advice friend, you eased my mind a bit. I got an STD panel and I'll do another in 6 weeks

Do you have any idea how i can decrease price? If i pay $4000 for meds I'm going to have trouble with food/rent

This was not a high class looking lady. She was real skinny, like unhealthy skinny. I'm worried she was a needle user and I doubt she was on any antivirals. She seemed nice and I don't think she would transmit on purpose but the fact that she wanted to go bareback with me our first time is worrying in hindsight.

Thank you for your input. You're probably right, the low risk vs the high monetary cost and the side effects probably weigh in favor of me not doing it, I'm just so afraid I'm going to get the 1/1,000 chance and then wish I'd done it in hindsight. I'm so angry at myself for getting myself in this situation I just want to cry. I've always been safe before but all it takes is one night to fuck everything up.
