Posted on Wed, 30 Apr 2014
Question: Hi, I had protected sex with sex worker about 75+ days ago, I did one HIV Antibody test after 2 weeks which was negative, did one rapid blood test(finger prick test) after 5 week 3 days which was negative and did one more rapid blood test (finger prick test ) recently (74 days test). It was negative. What should I do? Shall I need more test or I am fine?
