Thanks for writing to us. I can understand your concern.
In my practice as well as on this online forum I frequently come across such query form the men about concern of HIV testing.
You read it right that average incubation period is 3 months for HIV but in few cases it may extend up to 6 months.
You have already undergone testing after 4 months and there is no symptom of HIV. Clinically you need not to go fro test again.
Theoretically you can go for ELISA testing after 6 months of exposure for the best assurance.
In conclusion from my side no testing is required.
Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
