When Should Be HIV Test Be Done After An Exposure?
I had possibly exposure one month ago having a mutual masturbation with prostitute (I just find out that she is HIV positive)She touched couple time head of my penis(urethra),and mu balls, very possibly that I get some her infected vaginal fluids in to my penis urethra. It was all about masturbation and we did not have any other sexual activities. My question is should I go ahead and take HIV test or I can move on. I’m married and very worried.
What is the best time to take HIV test how long I need to wait after this exsposure, please?

Yes, to buy peace of your mind , you should take a test now and 90 days , though the transmission of HIV in the given scenario is unlikely
