“I had unprotected sex. Should I immediately test for HIV?”

you must do the serology, the transmission may be at the slightest touch, as no transmission, or several contacts not protect, there are almost 11 periodic tests ... in need to make contact me to inform you.

If you test for HIV now, the results will be indicating your status before the incident of your unprotected sexual encounter. The HIV status does not immediately change to positive if a person gets infected today. The body will first make antibodies, and this is what we test for. It is important however to know your HIV status if you never tested before. You can visit your physician to test for other STIs that you might have contracted, if there is any infection, you will be able to know immediately. I suggest that you also test for HIV and if it's negative, retest in six weeks. PLEASE practice safe sex and use condoms when having sex.

Hi,

I understand your dilemma. Unfortunately, the incubation period, if ever it was exposed, would be 6 months from the time of intercourse. You can do 1 HIV rapid test now and repeat one more at 6 months. Please also wash cleanly your vagina area with soap, and if oral sex was performed, then rinse with mouth wash. The virus does not survive well in all these conditions. For now, would be to wait. However, you must have protected intercourse from now till you test yourself again at the 6th month.

Hope this helps. Please seek your local doctor's advice also.

What you need to have in this connection is trust in your partner. If you trust your partner, you have nothing to worry about. If, on the other, you do not trust your partner, or you have reason to believe that this person may have been infected, then yes, visit an STD clinic.

Specifically, HIV infection has a window period that lasts up to 12 weeks, in which the test can be negative, then become positive. I hope you understand.
