I am late to the game of having sex (32) and wanted to go about it responsibly. But when the time came and I asked about STDs and if he was clean, I trusted him when he said yes.

I have an IUD, and thought we were exclusive, so after a couple of times we didn’t use condoms.

Things didn’t work out and now I’m paranoid that I gave my trust too easily. I scheduled myself to be tested and am pretty worried that my first experiences with sex are going to be marred by lies and consequences.
