Hi,

Your questions have two parts.
1. Is there is any chances for getting infected ?
Answer:
You have mentioned that Massure was negative for HIV 2 months ago. That's quite reassuring. The chances of getting HIV after once exposure (Like you had) is 0.09 % only. That's very very less and that too only if the source is confirmed positive. This means that your chances of getting infected is almost Nil. So be reassured.

2. When i should go for HIV test for be more clear ?
Answer:
After any exposure, its take anywhere between 3 - 6 months or a person to test positive with the routine Antibody testing. So you must get yourself tested now, after 3 months and then after 6 months.
You can also get Massure tested for reconfirmation.

I want to reassure that your risk is negligible.

Take care

Dr Kiran
