Brief Answer:
Considerations

Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.

While you did engage in activity that would be considered high-risk it appears that there is a very low likelihood that you have contracted HIV.

It would be reasonable to repeat the test again in four weeks and at that point if it remains negative then I think you will have confirmation that you have not contracted the virus.

I realize that you're probably experiencing a significant amount of anxiety and worry regarding this. Again I see a very low likelihood that you have contracted the virus. Please have a confirmatory test performed once again in about four weeks and beyond that I don't think any additional testing is needed.

Thank you again for sending your question.

Sincerely,

Dr. Galamaga
