For any further query feel free to ask me any time.

Even though it was 83 days post exposure then also you need not to worry as you are safe and free from risk but still I will advice you to get tested for your mental satisfaction. The result will surely come in your favor and it will allay your fear or anxiety related to HIV completely so be relaxed and get back to me after testing.
