Brief Answer:
HIV RNA PCR
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for query.
I do not see any need, if no symptoms are there for STDs and herpes. For herpes also, IGG antibody test is available, better done if symptoms and after few days of symptoms to be reliable.
If you want to rule out HIV you can go for HIV RNA PCR after 12 days of exposure.
Other tests if symptoms appear. Otherwise need not worry.
You can get back for any clarification else close the discussion and rate.
