Hi there Friend.
If I were your girlfriend, believe me I would have ditched you in a flash.
You are 'equally' responsible for the 'unprotected sex' perhaps more so.
It is you then who should be getting tested instead of subjecting the poor lass to the tests & casting aspersions on her past!
If you are so concerned, please get a PCR test done for mRNA on yourself & this will give you a much more accurate assessment of the situation given the time frames' involved.
The tridot test or Elisa test done at a 6 mths interval & turning out negative too suffices.
For best results henceforth, do practice safe sex always or try monogamy /marriage if condoms bother you. Should you require a one on one interaction & discussion, please feel free to use our private portal & or come across to Vikram Hospital, Bangalore to take the discussion further.
Godspeed.
