as previously advised...the only way to know your status is by testing...not symptoms.

3 months post nPEP will give you that conclusive result.

I'm not sure whether you'll require this PEP or not.

Are you worried from this exposure: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/HIV-Prevention/Should-I-really-be-worried-/show/1435010?personal_page_id=1967722 ?

What was your specific unprotected sex, though, anal, oral, or vaginal?

Thanks for the support.I will follow up. But remember I was on PEP till 3rd Jan this year so as far as the the waiting period should I start conting from the day I started PEP or after I finished it?

Follow-up at 3-month mark, but your result will be very unlikely to change by then from your recent result. Just to make sure you follow the medical consensus.
