Other people here have the exact numbers, but the risk for one episode of unprotected vaginal sex for a man is not that high. A test at six weeks will be 95% accurate, at twelve weeks, it will be over 99% accurate. Your symptoms don't mean anything, as they can be caused by anything, even stress and anxiety. You did have some risk, obviously, since the condom broke, and I suppose the sex worker part didn't help, but it's not mathematically a very high risk at all.
3 mths is enuff ? i tot 6 mths is needed ?
you thought wrong. 3 months is conclusive!
3 months is conclusive. 6 months is the old guidelines.
alrite i will go and test tomorrow . thanks
Yeah go tomorow for a rapid test, it will be highly accurate at 6 weeks although I still suggest a test later on like at 12 weeks for a final beyond a doubt test. The chances of infection are very low due to the brief exposure unprotected.
Dont worry about symptoms, especially since you felt 3 nodes in your neck when i am pretty damn sure there are only 2 nodes in your neck anyway which shows your imagination running wild.
2 only ?
thats weird i felt like one at the back and two at the sides , one left and one right ... anyway thx ...
hey thanks , will do a test on the 6th week and 13 week just to make sure
there are more than two lymph nodes in the neck.
probably around 99% of the ppl on this site that "think" they feel swollen lymph nodes...did not have them when being diagnosed by a doctor.
get a rapid test done today...it will be an excellent indicator of what the final result will be. follow up with a 3 month test for a conclusive result...but it is highly unlikely that the result will change.
dear all , i went to the docs today for blood test , he says need a day for the lab to get back its an elisa test . please wish me the best im collecting the results tomorrow , im so scared . :(
