HIV re-test
It’s been the worst 3 month ever….I would like to know if I need to test again
I had a risk of contracting hiv after a sexual encounter with CSW. I put the encounter as a high risk because I don’t even remember half of what we did. I do remember me asking for a condom.
Anyways my question is: 1) I have had a couple of test done but all have been for HIV 1 should I test for HIV 2 because she was Black and from the Dominican Republic?
2) My last test was 81 days after exposure do I need more test or would that be it? They told me that 81 days it’s ok and that don’t need to wait until 3 month has past.
(I had to go for the test at 81 days because of my work they need to do them every 6 month and I would like to know I need to do another one now that it’s more than 90 days?)

Why is her race an issue?Should the CSW go get tested because of your race/nationality? People contract HIV from all races. While some countries have higher percentages of infection , people still become infected outside of Africa. Whether it's uncommon or not plays no real baring on things. While I agree with TEAK .. If your going to be having sexing just wrap it . No matter what the persons race is.. Whether she's a CSW, regular working chic ,man or whateva just have safe sex.
If the place where you tested told you that 81 days is ok, so trust them and dont worry more, and for the 1rst question, HIV2 is not common anyware outside some countries of Africa. Olvidate amigo.
