Testing is not treatment.
If you explained everything up front to the medical doctor you saw; and he/she just put you at ease and told you not to worry about it too much; I might consider that malpractice, but as I've said, I'm not a medical doctor myself. Of course, if you went into your Kentucky ER and presented yourself as a straight man who somehow had concerns about his gal pal he fucked unsafely last night; the 'risk scenario' is different, and it might be reasonable to send you home without too much fuss.
On the other hand, if the guy who fucked you is in fact infected, because he's in the habit of sneaking-out 5 minutes of fucking at a time; with guys he doesn't really care a fuck about because he's actually a self-loathing homo in homophobic rural KY (oh, the irony!); well then I'd have to suggest strongly that your 'risk scenario' is actually rather severe.
Did the medical doctor you saw know you had received anal sex from a man? Were you open and honest with your doc?
If the answer to either of these questions is not a perfect 'YES' in both cases; then you should go to the Emergency Room (where doctors have more experience with emergency medicine, which isn't the speciality of most GPs).
PS: Pole_Smoker, I thought we were still in that window of 72 hours-ish; which is why I responded as quickly as I could (before reading every post as carefullly as I normally would).
