Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. If you both do the HIV test today after having intercourse yesterday and result on non reactive then both of you do not have any detectable HIV antibodies right now. It means you both do not have any sign of infection on blood test..
