Can HIV Be Contracted Through Protected Anal Sex?

Please use condom with fiance till you get test done after 30 days
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. If you had anal sex and a condom was used then the transmission of HIV infection is unlikely.
2. The recommended test to check for HIV is rapid 4th generation test for HV 1 and HIV 2 antibodies and p24 antigen. This test is conclusive for HIV 1 infection after 30 days and you can wait till then to confirm that you do not have HIV 1 infection.
3. Please have sex using condom with your fiance till you get the test done after 30 days. Please avoid having sex with commercial sex workers and those with unknown sexual health.
Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
