When Should Be HIV Test Be Done After An Exposure?
I had possibly exposure one month ago having a mutual masturbation with prostitute (I just find out that she is HIV positive)She touched couple time head of my penis(urethra),and mu balls, very possibly that I get some her infected vaginal fluids in to my penis urethra. It was all about masturbation and we did not have any other sexual activities. My question is should I go ahead and take HIV test or I can move on. I’m married and very worried.
What is the best time to take HIV test how long I need to wait after this exsposure, please?

theoretically, there is chance of develping hiv in your case. you should go to test for either P24 antigen or NAAT both test are highly sensitive and positive after one month which you have already passed. also do not forget to start antiretroviral therapy. thnx
