To ease your fears, see if you can get a blood pregnancy test. If that is negative, from what I have read on the forums, you can rest easier.

Also, talk to them when you go about birth control options. That way, you won't have to worry like this each time.

Always use condoms. Even if your partner tells you he's never been with anyone, assume just the opposite. Sex is fun, but comes with a lot of responsibility. You need to protect yourself against HIV/AIDS and other STD's.

Good luck to you!

I'm not a Dr. or any type of Medical Professional. The information I share is based on what I have experienced personally or what I have learned.
