Too soon to know: Had you acted sooner, you could have taken post-exposure prophylaxis that would have prevented HIV infection, even if your partner was infected. Two days after exposure is too soon to test. You may get tested for HIV antigen and antibody in about 2 months. If the results are negative, get an HIV nucleic acid test, at 6 months after exposure. Wish you good health!

STD symptoms, tests: Be on the lookout for symptoms of urethral infection (gonorrhea, chlamydia, nongonococcal urethritis) in the next 2-10 days: discharge from penis, uncomfortable urination. And for genital blisters or sores 3-20 days after the event. Urine gonorrhea/chlamydia test, valid any 3-4 days after the event. Syphilis and HIV blood tests--pretty reliable after 1 mo, but non conclusive until 6 weeks.
