Q: first time freaking out

HI, I just had my first encounter with anal sex in my life with a man tonight. We were not planning on do it like that but it just happened spur of the moment, and I didn't use protection. I was the one who actually performed the act on him. After doing it, I started to think about aids and whatnot. That was the first time ive ever had sex with a man so I know previously i wasn't infected, but I was wondering how much at risk am i at the moment for having HIV. Any help would be great cuz im actually starting to freak out.

That is very risky sexually.ALWAYS,every single time,use a condom.You have to get tested for HIV and other STDs.With anal sex in particular.Get tested ASAP.Its quick and EZ to do.Go to the clinic if you dont want to go to your doctor .ALWAYS USE A CONDOM! ALWAYS! I cant say that enough...if your tests come back HIV negative then take that as a blessing and learn the lesson.Dont forget how you feel now.I am sure you are fine but you cant know without a test.I know condoms can put a damper on the fun but it isn't so fun after you are done and the worry starts.Get tested and ALWAYS play safe!
