Suggest Tests To Diagnose STD's After Having Unsafe Sex

Hi am a lady of nineteen years of age, about a week ago a had unprotected sex with a man I have known for a month now. One day I happened to have visited him and he left me in his house as he had gone to work. As I was doing the cleaning around the house I came across some ARVs in his house and he stays all alone. What should I do because am suspecting that he might have infected me. Please help am worried I can't stop thinking of this.

Initially doing an Elisa or immunoassay test would identify the presence of infection.
If positive then doing an western blot after 3 months is advisable.
