Brief Answer:
No need to worry.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

1. No

2. HIV is transmitted through contaminated body fluids. If there is such a transmission despite protected sex, only then can HIV be transmitted. I do not suppose that such a probability applies and therefore you need not be worried.

3. The window period for a 4th generation antigen/antibody test is four weeks.

4. Not needed.

Hope I have answered your query.
