HIV question-risk situation
Hello, my situation is: 8 weeks ago I received unprotected oral sex from a prostitute, then I put on a condom, and we were having difficulties getting it in, so then pushing it in, the condom broke but I immediately noticed and didnt continue so technically I only penetrated her once with a broken condom which just had a rip on the side and didnt completely break, like most people who post I did have a freaking out period, which led on to me not eating or sleeping properly, and that caused some problems I guess, I took a 4th generation HIV 1 - 2 test on week 6, exactly 42 days after the incident, and came back negative, that made me a lot more calm, next thursday I will be exactly 9 weeks and I was thinking to get checked again, do you think its necessary? should I wait until week 13?
Thank you so much for this forum and for your guide and patience.
Also I called the best speciallists we have here and they said that with those tests, the window period is 1 month which also helped me a lot.

I got back my 9 week test result, 4th gen HIV 1-2 and came back negative I'll let you know once I get tested on week 13. :D
since you are concerned and for your peace of mind...get tested at 9 weeks....but you can only get a CONCLUSIVE result after 3 months....

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
However, the general guideline is 3 months post exposure, and we must adhere to it until it is changed. Please take another test at 13 weeks for your own reassurance.
