Hi, I had protected vaginal sex with an escort last week. At the end I notice that the condom had slipped towards the end of my penis but was still covering the glans. This has got me somewhat concerned. Maybe I am being paranoid but I cant help thinking that perhaps some of her bodily fluids may have worked their way through the base of the condom. I have been really worried since. I had a HIV test yesterday day 6 post exposure I know this is quite early but I opted for the duo test which tests for the P24 antigen as well as HIV 1 and 2 antibodies. The test came back negative. I am still worried though because I have read that the P24 antigen peaks at around day 14. My logic is if I had contracted HIV surely the test would have come back with some kind of positive result. Am I being paranoid here? Do you think what I described put me at high risk? your advice is much appreciated.

Maybe something happened, maybe nothing happened. It is difficult to tell even after after taking a test.

I recommend a blood test for you 90 days from the point of supposed infection. And another test after another 90 days to confirm the test results.

You may not have caught anything but you are worried. In that case, get tested with a blood test and know for sure once and for all.

All the best to you
