thank you for query.The chances of transmission of HIV by sexual route is 1/ 200 to 1/2000 even if the partner is HIV infected.here you have protected intercourse so there is least possibility of getting HIV.You can allay the fears.If you still want to allay the anxiety with 20days in mind you can go for RNA PCR test.It has high specificity at this period.All the best.You can get back for any clarifications.Dr Bharatesh D Basti Dermatologist.
