Brief Answer:
You need to get tested after 3 months.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXX,
Welcome to HCM.
As such the risk of contracting HIV from single unprotected exposure is very less specially when the status of partner is unknown so don't get worried. You need to go for HIV testing after 3 months to relieve your anxiety and to get the accurate result. Be relaxed, forget the episode and get back to me with report.
Thank You

Brief Answer:
It is not the fact.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
It is HIV antibody which appears in the blood within three months of infection thats why any HIV test is considered conclusive after this window period. Be relaxed and go for HIV testing after 3 months.
It is not hard but easy to get HIV from women and it is also not the fact that porn actors didn't get HIV even with risky behaviours so don't take it wrongly. Avoid searching too much because you may have false information and get confused with all these.
