Question : sir, i did sex with unknown girl at 15th sep 2015. i tested using XXXXXXX method 13 nov (2 months later). result is negative. May i safe now or still have to check further?
Brief Answer:
The risk of getting the infection is very remote in your case.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM.
You don't know whether the girl was HIV positive or not and the result of ELISA after 2 months of exposure is negative then the risk of getting the infection is very remote or less.
You can go for repeat testing after 3 months of exposure to get the completely accurate status of your condition because the window period is from 15 days to 3 months in HIV.
Thank You
