Do I Have HIV? / Re: I am woman and had unprotected sex help
« Last post by Jim on February 03, 2025, 11:34:51 am »Hiya,
Even if true, it's irrelevant.
irrelevant.
Pointless.
So brief condomless intercourse, that's your HIV risk. You don't need a PCR and should test to confirm your HIV status six weeks post-exposure with a blood-draw (lab) HIV antibody test. The result at six weeks will rarely change, and retesting at three months is generally unneeded.
Also, get tested for far easier-to-transmit STIs. In the meantime, talk to your healthcare provider about your symptoms so they can treat you, it has nothing to do with your HIV status.
Here's what you need to know to reduce your HIV risks:
Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse correctly and consistently, with no exceptions. Consider talking to your healthcare provider about PrEP as an additional layer of protection against HIV and get vaccinated against HPV, Hepatitis A & B.
Keep in mind that some sexual practices described as safe in terms of acquiring HIV still pose a risk for other easier-acquired STIs. So please do get tested at least yearly for STIs, including but not limited to HIV, and more frequently if condomless intercourse occurs.
Also, note that it is possible to have an STI and show no signs or symptoms; testing is the only way to know.
Kind regards
Jim
