you continue your current ongoing treatment. First of all check the status of hiv the person you had sex with.if his status tells you to continue the treatment than continue your treatment. secondly hiv elisa is not going to be positive in just 4 days. the earliest test to be positive is the P24 antigen test followed by hiv rna pcr at 28 days.
