hi.. you should use precautions as HIV is most commonly spread through sexual intercourse. Recently infected person may not have any symptoms . However within a month flu like symptoms may appear which usually disappear within a week or month. HIV diagnosis through blood test for the presence of antibodies can take 6 months after the infection. So you should undergo follow up testing.
Thanks.
