Still I'm so tensed that I didn't used condom and I just put inside it leaked. We had not done more than that. Please clarify that had I been affected with HIV?? It happened one month back. Please I'm so tensed.

You need to get tested.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Thanks for posting your query.

If you are 100% sure that she is not infected with HIV then no need to worry. But my question is how can you be so sure that she isn't infected ?
Has she got tested for HIV anytime ?

My advise is , if you are not sure or even if there is 1% doubt also then better get tested ( both of you ) .

You can get HIV Western blot test for this purpose.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask.

Regards.
