When To Take A Combo Test?
Good morning, I am Italian and 18 days ago, i made a fellatio to a boy (no fluid exchange and the duration was not even 3 min). I took a test CMIA with p24 (combo test) and i was negative. Here in Italy doctors say 30 days is ok....18 days can make me just little little calmer? thank you
