Okay so I have a problem. Please read my whole question if you can. I also know I am not old enough to be on Yahoo Answers but please ignore it I just want to ask this one question. My problem is that 3 years ago I had (gay) sex without knowing it! I am 12 years old and me and a boy across the street were playing the “naked game”. Well we did some things while playing the “Naked Game”. I just found out that these things were anal and oral sex. The thing is that I honestly did not know what sex was at that time. Anyway I only heard in recently about the different kinds of sex. Also I recently heard about STD’s. I am scared that I may have caught an STD from the boy across that street. I was not two worried until I found out that the the STD “HIV’s” can turn into AIDS and that can kill you! I was going to get a home HIV test (the one that’s FDA approved and you take your blood and send it to a lab). I’m running out of characters so please read the rest in the additional information.
Well yeah anyway I am thinking of telling my parents. It will be hard for me to get an HIV test at a clinic because of my age. Also I live in the middle of Wyoming near a bunch of farms therefore clinics are far away. The problem with telling my parents is that I come from an Asian family who gets mad if I get a “b” in school. Also to top it off my dad is a Pediatrician! My family loves me very much but I’m very scared to tell them. What should I do? Parents what would you do if this was your son? I would like answers from people who have been in similar situations.

Dude, kids experiment with stuff like this all the time. And just cuz u did somethin once don’t make u gay or nothin. And even if u do feel like u wanna be gay, that’s ok too. Bein gay is your own business and your choice…not no one else’s.
As for tellin your parents. I wouldn’t worry about it. If u think they’d freak, don’t tell em. If u think they would sympathise, then u probably could.
As for the STD, I’m doubtin it unless the kid u messed with goes around doin everybody…which it don’t sound like he does.
My thoughts are chill out man and forget it. I ain’t nothin to be ashamed of and it ain’t nothin that’s gonna hurt u.
When u get to be 20yo or so u will laugh about it.

I doubt seriously that you have anything to worry about as far as STDs and AIDS goes. I really wouldn’t let that cross your mind again.
Kids get naked together all the time. Just keep your clothes on now that you know better!
Maybe you don’t have to tell your parents all the details, but if you are feeling some confusion, perhaps they’ll understand if you say you want to talk to somebody like a counselor.
Choose your friends wisely. If anyone tries to get you to do anything that makes you uncomfortable–stealing, doing drugs, engaging in sexual activity, or whatever–then THEY ARE NOT A FRIEND.
My prayers are with you.
