How many months are required to rule out HIV infection definitively?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Having sex with multiple partners not only puts you at risk of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) but also other sexually transmitted infections. If you had unprotected sex with a partner of unknown HIV status and you have tested HIV negative after three months of exposure, you can feel relieved. However, if that is not the case, it is recommended to undergo a repeat test three months after the last exposure. A negative result after three months of exposure generally rules out HIV infection in the majority of cases, allowing you to move forward with confidence. Remember to use precautions in the future, such as consistently and correctly using condoms. This not only prevents HIV transmission but also protects against other sexually transmitted infections.

I hope your queries are resolved and any further queries are welcome.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

An HIV-negative test result after six months of unprotected exposure is highly conclusive regarding your negative HIV status. If both you and your wife are HIV-negative, there is no risk of HIV transmission through unprotected sex. However, it is always advisable to use condoms for the prevention of not only HIV but also other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

Hope your query is answered, but if you still have any more questions, please revert.
