General understanding
Hello to all,
As for my situation, I was unfortunately involved in a rape incident with another male (thankfully with no ejaculation). I have done my 3 months test which was negative. I have done about 8 tests within the 3 months period. I am writing hoping to have some general questions answered for my understanding, and peace of mind.
1) Is exposure considered exposure regardless of the incident-whether it being anal or vagina--
2) I am generally confused regarding the window period. I had spoken to the CDC over the phone and the lady says 97% of indivduals develop antibodies by 3 months. 6 months for everyone. So im really frustrated and confused regarding where I stand.
3) Does Hiv take longer to show up in the body the smaller the amount of the virus that is transmitted over to the receptive?
I appreciate your time. I dont mean to bothering anyone. Just need some comfort.

Yes, but exposure to pre-ejaculate is still risky.
However, your 3 month test is quite definitely conclusive.

Sir, thank you for your immediate response.
I just had one last question.
-does the fact that I was not exposed to ejaculate lower the risk substantially?
Once again, thank you sir.
