General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello Dear. Relax. If your partner is healthy without HIV infection, then you have no chances of getting infection. If she has HIV then you are at risk. You need to get tested for HIV. There will be ELISA test which is done for HIV. You need to get it now, at 6 weeks and 6 months. If it is negative even at 6 months then you need not worry.

You can also go for costlier tests like P24 antigen test and PCR test which will tell immediately whether you have got infection or not.

Always have one faithful partner. Do not go for multiple partners.

Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you.
All the best
With warm regards
