Hi
I was an intercourse with condom
but suddenly I notice that the condom come out and I had been unprotected for less than 5 seconds
I want to know does this little time reduce the chance of infection or not
thank you

Your last test was outside the window period and is conclusive. You are HIV negative.

you know, I had great phobia about HIV infection. for more than 4 months I stuck in hypochondria and just the day after I gave my test result I had another intercourse that lead to this problem .those days I had all symptomps of HIV infection (white path , rash , fever,...) and I gave all test( p24 in day 18 , pcr in  week 7 and ELISA after 4 month). now I should repeat all agian, this is so intolerable. :D  

in my country the statistics of infected sex workers is at most 1 percent.
so the probability is 0.01 * 0.002 = 0.0002 , so I need another value to multiply in these formola ;)
I don't know what to do with these anxieties about sex. I can't live without that and also can't endure these anxieties. (just joking)

Don't look from the duration but look at whether you had a risk or not. 5 seconds or 5 hours, you might have an HIV risk, so go get tested at 3 months post-exposure for a conclusive result like what LIZZIE LOU said.

thanks
I didn't find any article that explain the relation of sex duration and infection probability
all papers just say the probability of infection with deferent values
but none of them specify how did they measure these value or at least I couldn't find it.
I want to know does such survey exist?

common sense states that the longer you are exposed to something...the greater the chance of infection !

it is "unlikely" that 5 seconds of unprotected sex will result in infection...but there is NO guarantee of this.

testing at 6-8 weeks post exposure will give you a good indication of your status...but follow up at 3 months for a conclusive result
