Suggest Tests To Detect HIV
Question: I had a condom break which lead to unprotected sex. I was the insertive partner to a female who was in the end stages of menstration. Prior to vaginal sex, she gave a toothy oral sex that resulted in a bruise/cut ln the head of my penis.
I worry as she is promiscuous around the world (but not africa), though she claims to always make her partners use a condom for vaginal sex. She does not do anal sex or drugs. She does not have partners wear a condom while providing oral sex on men. She claims to be HIV/STD free, but her status in unknown. She hasnt been tested in 4 months and has had sex with 15-30 men.
Should I take PEP, as i am within the 72 hour window?
