Hi, I'm 30 years old female and I'm affraid that I was exposed to HIV. I had unprotected intercourse with a man 44 days ago. With same person I had one more intercourse 3 days ago with protection (condom) but it was used very uncarefully. Yesterday i found out that person has very suspicious history (ex drug addict).
My first question is: What are the chances that i might be infected at all?
My second question is: When is the best time to do test (Anti-HIV1, Anti-HIV2 + p24 antigen)? This is what I've read: "The p24 test is generally only positive from about one week to 3 - 4 weeks after infection with HIV." HIV test cannot be positive before 3 months after exposure. What happen during the period from 3-4 weeks to 3 months after exposure? Does it makes sense to be tested during that period with a test mentioned above?
Im extremely anxious and i wouldn't like to wait for 3 more months.
My third question is: If I do regular test that can be done in GUM clinic (for free) 3 months after exposure (cannot be done before because they don't do p24 antigen test) what are the chances that I might be positive even if that test is negative? Im asking this because window period can last from 3 to 6 months after exposure.
I'm really grateful for any answer, thanks a lot!
