Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

High risk sexual behaviour calls for doing battery of tests for sexually transmitted disease.
Test at 3 months following first unprotected exposure,
-Elisa for HIV antibodies,can use P24 antigen assay before 3 months
-HbsAg IgM for hepatitis B
-Antibodies for HPV 1 and HPV2
-VDRL for syphilis
Repeat above tests after 6 months.
-If you get any symptoms related to genital infection like warts,ulcer,blebs,discharge,urinary symptoms.urethral swab testing for sexually transmitted diseases.
-Testing for other disease will depend upon the symptoms you get.
-I advise you to have protected sex and avoid having sex with person with unknown serological status.
-Avoid blood transfusion and sexual activities till you are declared free from any reinfection.

Hope I answered your query.
