Brief Answer:
No infection...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I will take the results of the tests as conclusive. Further you report that the sexual exposure was protected. I would not be worried about infections - HIV and hepatitis in this case.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any more help.

Brief Answer:
Consider VDRL test...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I apologize for the late reply. I was away from internet for couple of days.

As per your description the encounter was protected at most times except in the end where you were unsure. This episode was 4 months ago and you seem to be alright since then. Therefore I don't think you were exposed to any kind of infectious threat including HIV and you are safe. If there is a test that could be done is a test to rule out syphillis. I will suggest VDRL as a screening test. If VDRL is negative, you don't need any more tests.

Hope this helps.
