Answer Dear Aulissha,
You can't be pregnant from the sex you had on the 24th of June because you got your period after that. So you are worried about getting pregnant from the July 2nd time, correct?
Have you missed your period since then? You should have gotten your period around July 21st or 22nd, right? The rule of thumb is, you can test when at least 2 weeks have gone by since the date of sexual activity. For you it's been a month, so you can definitely test NOW.
