Advice

Hi guys,

Need your advice. I had unprotected vaginal sex once for 2-3 mins with a female. Dr. H said after 4 weeks it is 90% accurate. I am thinking at getting tested at 31 days. I tested at 25 days and it was negative. Do you think I should get tested at 31 days and get it over with or wait until 5 weeks? I know this is a low risk event.

Hi there,

If you had unprotected vaginal sex with someone of unknown status, you are at risk if she has STI and HIV.

Your 25 days negative result is encouraging but a little too early.  You can go for a HIV test Earlist at the 1st month and repeat at the 3rd month after the last exposure for a conclusive result.

However, I recommend you test at 6 weeks after exposure. If you test negative the likelihood that will change by 12 weeks is remote.

Cheers

how accurate is at 5 weeks considering my situation? It's hard for me to wait until 6 weeks.

5th weeks result is only consider encouraging for unprotected intercourse.


The odds is in your favour for your one time, short exposure.  I know it's diffcult to wait....waiting is the worst.....

I suggest you do more outdoor activities and less internet surfing.....
