Please advise
Three weeks and two days ago i had PROTECTED sex with a prostitute,my condom didnt break and was intact all through,i forgot that i had irritation from staphylococus infection that i was treating. I pulled by boxers and trouser half way and had it right in my car.
it was after sex that i remembered that there was an open sore between my scrotal sack and my lap due to the previous scratching.Regardless of the fact that it was a bit hidden and i cleaned it with disinfectant earlier that morning, could i get infected if she has hiv ? I am scared to death.I took an antibody test today and it was negative but still i cant get it off my head, is that conclusive ? I am scared to death.

I am a bit relieved now. after taking the antibody test today after 3 weeks and 3 days of the incident which was negative, when can i take a confirmatory antibody test to further ease my mind. As we do not have 4th generation test in nigeria.
HIV transmission can only happen inside the body. Your scratch could not serve as a portal for the virus.
Your symptoms are clearly caused by something else.

Thanks gain my good friend.I have often had sore throats before the incident due to the staph infection i am treating, but i now feel warmth and pain around my lymph node in my neck. i dont know if i am imaging things. i also feel its swollen. This gives me cause for concern
Thank you for your response, my fear is that her vaginal fluid might have reached the sore that resulted as a result of my itching the previous day. I am so bothered.

Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
