Dear XXXX,

Welcome to HCM.

You had sex with sex worker but HIV 1 and HBsAg both test results are negative after 21days then no need to worry at all as you are absolutely safe and risk free. You can get tested again now to relieve your anxiety or fear and the test result will surely come in your favor so be relaxed and move ahead.
