Prudent: It would be prudent to get tested. In the meantime quarantine yourself. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to a hospital. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
