Unprotected sex always carries some risk. In this particular case, the risk is quite low, but it still exists. In terms of taking comfort in a negative HIV test after a month, it is realistic, especially if you have a duo test. It tests for HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies and the p24 antigen for earlier diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>The results would detect 95% of infections at 4 weeks and more than 99.99% at 12 weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had unprotected insertive vaginal intercourse 1 month ago in a bath tub. This was with a Vietnamese woman who I paid to have sex with me at a spa in Macco and lasted no more than 5 minutes. Please help me with a few questions.<\/p>\n<p>First-would that increase\/decrease the likelihood of infection (I&#8217;ve been told that women&#8217;s vagina will often get water inside)?<\/p>\n<p>Secondly-I know that to be conclusive, I need to test at three months but how much comfort can I find in a negative at 1 month (with an antibody test)?<\/p>\n<p>Thirdly-how great is the risk? Being unprotected, insertive vaginal, with a temporary resident sex worker of unknown status, less than 5 minutes and in the tub?<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,22,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-249","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-topics","category-hiv-testing","category-hiv-transmission"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=249"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24290,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249\/revisions\/24290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=249"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=249"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=249"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
