Testing Question - Unprotected Oral + Protected Vag
Hi,
I posted last week about an encounter I had where the day before I had a scrape on my knee (was bleeding the day before, was like a cut from a sharp objct). I had unprotected oral and protected vaginal. I just got tested with rapid testing today and it was negative. I was wondering, do you suggest I come back at the three month mark based on my theoretical risk? My concern is with the vaginal fluids getting into any cuts I had on my body (specifically, the cut on knee, which was kind of scabbing but half still open on the day).

The nurse who administered my rapid test said this is only a baseline and oral is low but still non Zero risk?
You didn't have a risk. You cannot get HIV from being exposed to genital secretions in a cut or abrasion.
