Brief Answer:
Go about a HIV DUO test on day 28 from transmission
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. The reason why I would not immediately rule out your concern is because of the genital contact, which carries a very very low chance of transmission of HIV, but it cannot be used to completely rule out HIV transmission.
I would thus in conclusion, recommend a HIV DUO test in day 28 since transmission, which is 99.8 % accurate in ruling out HIV. This test can really help and if it returns a clear result, then you need not worry about HIV anymore from this event.
I hope you find my response helpful. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.
Best wishes
