Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had unprotected oral sex with a sex-worker as well as rimming and protected vaginal sex. After 28 days, I did HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) duo test and it came nonreactive. Can I have unprotected sex with my wife now? Is duo test at 28 days conclusive? Do I need a further test?
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com.
Unprotected insertive oral sex carries a negligible risk of transmission of HIV. Rimming too is not a high risk and protected sex is safe as far as risk of HIV is concerned. However, a fourth generation HIV screening test is considered conclusive at six weeks by most HIV specialists.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
So I did the test at four weeks. Is that conclusive? Can I go for unprotected sex with my wife?
Hi, Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Your test is fairly conclusive since yours was a low-risk exposure. I think you can safely assume yourself to be safe and can engage in unprotected sex with your wife.
