When we got into high school, we became friends (social) and we got along well. After college, we bucked up into each other on our way to work, and an instant connection was made. He said I always went for the older guys, so he never made a move or even tried to (I made the move). We hooked up at his place a couple of weeks after that, and we had sex all night long. Eventually we ran out of condoms, so we continued without. Only to learn a week after, that I have Chancroid, a genital disease. He refuses to speak with me, I try to talk with him just to know what is going on. I'm hurt, scared and confused as I am not 100% sure that is all I have. I want to do a blood test, but the money just isn't there to do so.

you may be able to get a free test from your gp or family planning clinic. so go to one of them and explain about that you would struggle to pay. you certainly need to get checked out. keep trying to talk to this guy. he may not know he's infected. however, he may have committed a criminal offence if he knew he was infected and continued to have unprotected sex without telling you

This is terrible!
Does he think he shares no responsibility in having sex with you without protection? Does he think you are the bad one because you are diseased? Do you know if you caught this from him?
His attitude is disgusting, instead in feeling hurt over it. Take care of your body.
Please, please, please, get a blood test, I am sure there are free clinics that can provide that, check on the Internet for a free STD clinic.
They will probably have to test you in another 6 months for HIV, as it can take a while to show up in your body.Make sure you cover all you bases for your peace of mind and the peace of mind of your future sex partners.
This is a harsh way to learn to be sexually responsible.
Good luck.
