Broken Condom with HIV+ female
Hey guys, I would like your advice on something. On October the 22nd 2016 I had a broken condom with a female friend of mine during vaginal intercourse. After which, we went to go get tested for safety measures and it was discovered that she was HIV positive and I was negative. She was completely blind sided and devastated. I went onto PEP (Atripla) within 5 hrs and completed the 30 day course of PEP. It is currently 11 weeks post PEP. I went for an hiv rapid prick test at 6,7,8 and 11 weeks post PEP and all have been negative. Can I confidently put this episode and anxiety behind me? Im going for the 12 week test at the end of this week.
Most likely........but wait for your 12 week test to celebrate.

When you say most likely, does this mean i'm 99% negative. I read that 99% of people would have tested positive by this time if they were indeed infected. I just want to put this nightmare behind me. Ive been a nervous wreck for 4 months (including the one month when i was on PEP)
Try to relax and focus on the negative result so far, because a statistic for the general population can't prove anything about your particular encounter.
