HIV contraction
hi. Im a 24 male living in the Philippines. Iv'e had a non reactive hiv result after a 3 weeks post exposure to a woman of whom hiv status is not known. The thing is im still scared because I've read in my research that the 3month rule applies if you really want to make sure that you're all clear. Am I really at that risk of contracting the disease? The act was penile to vaginal only. Not protected. Please help and do reply, This thing is making me lose sleep and that deed is not worth the fear that I'm experiencing now,
Not sure what you mean, exactly, when you say "penile to vaginal only Not protected."
The three ways you can contract HIV
1) UNPROTECTED INSERTIVE ANAL/VAGINAL SEX WITH HIV+ PARTNER
2) SHARING DRUG WORKS (NEEDLES) WITH AN HIV+ PERSON
3) HIV+ MOTHER TO UNBORN CHILD
If you are not in any of these categories, you had no risk.
Testing at 12 weeks post exposure will give you a 100% conclusive result.
