I had intercourse for less than a minute. Should I test for HIV?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

1. With whom did you have unprotected sex?
2. Is there a possibility of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) in the partner?
3. When did you have a sex? (if it is within 12 hours from now, then you can have a post-exposure prophylaxis as well. Its also better to get your partner tested if possible.

If there is a chance of HIV in the partner then certainly get yourself tested, but after at least a period of two to three weeks as it will be negative inthe early period. You can hiv antibody and antigen test (p 24 assay).

Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.

Although the risk increases with increased duration of intercourse, less than a minute intercourse does not eliminate the risk of acquiring it. So there is no such safe duration.
