Definitely don't use spit as lube. Especially when wearing a condom. But I'm sure you're fine. No harm in getting a retest just to ease your mind.

But for some reason, every-time the topic gets brought or all the sudden, I get this panic attack and i become extremely scared and I end up crying or shaking. Should I retake another test, or what's wrong with me ?

Do whatever you feel.
I know tha standard is to wait 3 months to get re-tested and im sure they say that just so tha HIV can kick in and secure itself if you actually have it.
But me, personally, I get tested twice a month.
STD's get passed around like rumors these days and it only takes 24-48 hours for them to kick in. I'm not waiting 3 months to see if i have something knowing that i'm sexually active and these guys out here can't be trusted and are irresponsible. It's up to me to take care of myself, not anyone else. So get tested whenever you feel however many times you want.

You're okay, HIV cannot be passed through spit.
You should get tested regularly if you're sexually active.

Depends on your insurance, if you have it
My co-pay is $20 whenever I go there.

I have been googling HIV ARS since two weeks ago. I had unprotected sex with a guy 3 weeks ago. Because I was experiencing odd in myself, I used the internet to do self diagnosing. So three weeks have already been past, I am still paranoid about getting an HIV. I cannot just trust the guy even if he said he is clean and he did not have sex for so long. I don't know now if this is me anymore. I cannot even concentrate with high school anymore and I am feeling stressed everyday.
Coming across in this thread and reading about the stories of members who also had HIV scare made me realize that I should not have searched all the symptoms in the internet. It doesn't mean that you have the symptoms or you're already an HIV positive. I think the internet sometimes is misleading the people. The more I spend time in the googling, the more I get an anxiety.

Ever since I've came across some article about HIV, I've became paranoid because I've realised that I've experienced some of the symptoms (rash and ulcers). Should I be worried? I know the only real way to know is to get tested, but I'm really scared and I don't know where to do it.

Both of you should really do a test as soon as possible. I don't want to scare you but after reading your stories I would definitely advice you to take a test. You have to get a result before you can find peace, you know.

I do have the courage to get an HIV test but my point is... i keep reading everywhere that if i go for a test 3 weeks after the possible exposure the chances of it being accurate are very low, so that's why i will have to wait most likely until next month to get tested even though the wait is killing me and i can't get HIV out of my head. I wish i would have known about PEP within 72 hours of possible exposure; i only found out about it the week after i had unprotected sex. Anyways I can't wait to know the result for the test either positive or negative at least I will know my status.

Questions:
Can you contract if there's no ejacu/ation?
Can a top contract if there's no ejacu/ation?
I've only bottommed twice and I don't think either of them came, definitely not inside me n.

Yes, premature ejaculate otherwise known as well you know.
Yes a Top can contract if said top shared needless or they exchanged blood or other bodily fluids. Like if the penis had a wound, that would be an easy entry point for the virus. A penis can get caught in a zipper or have some other abrasion.

I believe it is possible. I don't see why it wouldn't be. Like I assume that's how an UTI happens

A top can contract if you barebacked. So during anal sex, even though my anus and rectums need lube there is a slight lubricant lining of mucus. That mucus as well as your semen tends to hold the most amount of the HIV virus as its created by your lymph nodes. So when the top is screwing, the pleasure of going in and out come from friction and friction leads to tiny microabrasions in which the virus in the anal mucus and get into and infect the TOP.
