hi i have received results . negative at 28 days after exposure with 4th generation test.
am i out of the woods?

thanks so much for your help and advice
hi guys ... i tested on 12/07 and i received results for bacterial infections all Negative... hiv and hep c have been taking over 9 days and i am panicking as the normal is 3 days... could this mean that they found something?
hi guys . i went for an std panel on friday . i am extremly terrified my results should come out next week.
i have stomach upset for weeks and i have been extremly down with worry.
thanks
i am also a circumsized male.
1-does that decrease my chances?
2- i have a terrible diarhorea for 4 days now. i have just come back from India.
3- if i test using home testing kit at 4 weeks will that be even encouraging news?
thanks
If the condom was inside of her (not sticking out), your penis head was probably covered. The risk, though, for a one time exposure like this less than 2 percent. VERY low. Agree with others that since there is a risk (very low though), you should have a duo test at 28 days. Very unlikely that you got HIV from this. I would personally not be overly anxious. When you add in that she provided medical documents of her status to the best of her knowledge, that is further confirmation that you are not going to be positive. Test at 28 days to be sure.
Risk is low.
1. This whole ordeal for you right now is based on an "assumption" that she is HIV positive.
2. Her recent HIV negative result established 2 important things; she is concerned about her own safety and does not essentially engage in risky behavior. Her HIV result is a dated one and therefore she could possibly be in a window period (Big Assumption!).
3. HIV is fragile virus to transmit, for a FTM vaginal exposure, it is usually seen that it takes multiple episode of unprotected intercourse for transmission. From the information that you have provided us, it seems that you must have been unprotected inside of your partner for a brief period of time, that puts you at a risk.
Just get a Duo test at 28 days and move on. I foresee a negative.
Thanks for your response.
when we finished the condom was not on me neither was it hanging out of her.. it had dissappeared somewhere inside her.. she showed me her hiv, hep B and hep C test results at the clinic where they printed it out for her whilst i waited . the date of the tests were 6 weeks prior to my exposure...
1-is this risk low enough to have sex with my partner?
2- what if she was in her window period? will that have a significant effect?
thanks
Was it hanging out of her vagina? If so you would have been protected.
Likely she is negative because if she always uses a condom she can't have hiv. If her test was a duo it is conclusive at 4 weeks, but you didn't say what kind of test she had. No one here can determine that, so you will have to ask her doc or get her to tell you what test was used.But I think all UK uses duo, so you should be able to find that out easily.
it did slip off . when we finished there was no condom to be seen . so i beleive there was an exposure
Only the head needs protection and that happened, otherwise if it was so loose that it slipped off the head then the condom would have fallen off. You had no risk and need to move on.
