Brief Answer:
Mention in detail about the incidence.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Lliana,
Welcome to HCM.
The risk of HIV with single unprotected sex is very less even if the partner is positive or high risk. You can go for HIV testing to confirm your status but it is very early so wait for at-least 15 days then go for 4th generation test to relieve your anxiety.
Please explain in details about the incidence for a better understanding and risk assessment.
As your friend I will advice to stay away from unsafe sexual practice as much as you can. For any further query feel free to ask me any time and I am always here to help you.
Thank You
