Doctor… I have protected vaginal intercourse and received protected and unprotected oral sex with sex worker recently. I am worry on exposure on HIV as I dont know the status of the sex worker. May I know what can I do? Possible to prevent infection?
Hello and good afternoon. Thank you for your inquiries.
For your information, the symptoms for the early stages of an acute HIV infection are:
HIV infection takes 1 to 2 months to manifest itself or the earliest is within the first 2 weeks after transmission. If you are worried, you are advised to go for HIV testing at least 3 to 12 weeks after the transmission.
Get into relationships without the infection.
