If you believe you have been exposed to HIV and want help to judge your risk, would like advice about HIV testing, or have questions about the effectiveness of condoms or risks associated with specific sexual practices, this is the site for you.
Stats are really useless when it comes to HIV and this forum deals with risk. Unprotected sex is a risk and does dictate that you test at 3 months. You can test at 6-8 weeks for a good indication but 3 months is conclusive.
You can go over to the expert forum and read post after post from the Dr's to get a sense of the stats they use if it helps you.
I am not saying that, im just saying the the ratio of african americans with HIV far exceeds white americans with HIV, so iam more nervous because every website i come across talks about the issue in america with blacks and HIV. I am just stating what I have read, not trying to make judgement.
