anxiety

It's only been 2 days since my exposure and I'm having anxiety.  I read the odds for a one time encounter are 1 in 1,000 of contracting hiv.  This is assuming the csw even had it.

A test at  3 months post-exposure will be both accurate and conclusive.You can test at 6 weeks if you don,t want to wait that long-it will provide you with a guideline as to where your at.All the best.

First let me say I am sure you will fine..

That being said your situation warrents a test at 3 months post exposure.

You did have a "RISK" and you need to get tested.

I suggest 2 things

1) no more unprotected sex.
2) get a whole blood Anitbody test at 3 months
