You never had a risk and your doctor doesn't know anything about testing if he told you to test at 6 months.
You had no HIV risk since you had protected sex. But if your Dr wants you to test get tested.
If you believe you have been exposed to HIV and want help to judge your risk, would like advice about HIV testing, or have questions about the effectiveness of condoms or risks associated with specific sexual practices, this is the site for you.
You never had an exposure and were advised of it. MOVE ON.
