First...: No need to apologize -- we're doctors. Even if your experience wasn't the ideal for which you'd hoped, and even though you took a risk you now regret, i hope that this step toward manhood was overall a good experience & you'll treasure the memory. Your pcr may be positive in a few days & usually is by 21 days; the antibody may be positive in 2 weeks, usually in 8 weeks, almost always by 12 weeks.

Now: If you want to know whether you're infected or not, there is a test that measures the presence of the virus in your blood. It becomes + 7-10 days after exposure.
