It was a one night stand and she told me last night she was clean but I can't trust her. I was using a condom but removed it and t was unprotected for a few mins til I stopped it.
Brief Answer:
The risk with single exposure is very less.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Welcome back and thanks for follow-up.
If this exposure is first time then the risk is unlikely but if you are anxious enough then the best way to relieve your stress or tension is to get tested for it and negative result will definitely clear your doubt.
