Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Unprotected oral sex with HIV positive female, Chances of infection are there.
Screening done by using ELISA test. need to repeat again after 3 months.
Antigen( RNA) detection test detects early, But expensive. from 2 weeks after exposure helps in detection.
Post exposure prophylaxis is available for HIV infection.
Hope this helps you.
Regards
