Thanks for contacting with your health concern and after reviewing your case history I'm of the following opinion:

1. Since you had a protected sex [using condom] and assuming that the condom was intact and doesn't break chances of getting infected by virus are nil [HIV virus cannot permeate intact latex]

2. for a definite HIV screening test result one have to wait for 3 months.

3. If she is HIV positive and getting treatment for the same then there should be a very low amount of virus in her body since with this combination [medicine plus condom] chances are even more less.

4. If still in dilemma you may consult a sexual health clinic near your locality: either a Genito Urinary Medicine [GUM] or Sexually Transmitted Infection [STIs] clinic.
