 Hi, Sorry to hear about your partner's passing. The guidelines for HIV screening following a significant HIV exposure, such as unprotected sex with someone confirmed to be HIV positive, recommend HIV-antibody testing at both the three- and six-month marks. If you remain HIV-antibody negative out to 6 months, you are definitively and conclusively negative and no additional HIV testing would be warranted. Be well. Dr. Bob | ||||||||
