ezs note: A few tips for you:
1) Get tested now. You need not wait any longer, I promise you.
2) If your partner balks at wearing a condom, say NO. If he still refuses, the jerk's not worth it.
3) If you test positive, see what options are available. In Connecticut (and all around New England, really) there are options available.
