Then take an antibody test at 6-8 weeks then again in 3 months. Was the sex unprotected?

Yes, the DUO is available in the U.S. It got approved last June.

Clearly you had an HIV exposure. Like what was the activity.

A month is a bit too early for Oraquick. Take a DUO test now or another Oraquick at 8 weeks and 3 months.
