Just another try Aug 20, 2005 Dear Dr. Bob, Since 2 months I am visiting your website and I admire very much the positive energy that you give all of us. A single very low exposure risk (protected sex with a sex worker), followed by a 4 weeks p24 and HIV antibodies negative result. The doctor tells me that the next test should be at 6 months from exposure. What about the significance of the test result and would a 3 months test be enough to forget about this 'one night affair'? Thanks a lot and count on my donation. Un abrazo desde España |

 Hello, If the latex condom was used properly and did not fail, the "protected sex" would indeed be protected and your HIV risk would be essentially nonexistent. Your four-week negative antibody and p24 antigen tests are very encouraging. A single test at three months would be considered definitive for your one-night affair. Good luck (although I doubt you'll need it). Dr. Bob | ||||||||
