Tests for HIV,Hepatitis, syphilis, Herpes.

Hi
Thank you for follow up query.

As only 4 days exposure, it would be better if you can go for tests after 2 weeks like HIV RNA PCR, HbSAg,HSV 1&2 Antibodies,VDRL .
If any symptoms you can go for tests depending on symptoms.
Later after 3 months to have conclusive results.
You can get back for any clarification.
