Should I Go For PCR Test After Having Sex With An Unknown?

Hi. I had a one night stand 6 days ago and although I "think" it was safe. Having had a lot to drink, I can't be 100% sure. I'm sure that after the ncident there were no obvious breakages and assume she would have been aware of it, had there been. But, I'm not use to one night stands and this has led me to be petrified and wanting to take a PCR test. Should I take one?

Yes, if you ate not 100% sure then its wise to go for hiv testing. You should go for confirmatory hiv testing once after a month of exposure. You can go with p24 antigen or pcr.
