Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

You should not have had sex with prostitute if you are so worried about HIV. Any way you did good by having protected sex. Please go to your nearest HIV counselling centre in Delhi, all government hospitals have it including AIIMS. You need not worry as the chances of HIV are very less in protected sex with rates approaching zero.

Regarding tests, you should wait at least 3 months before being tested for first time and then repeat test at 6 months for confirmation. This is done free in government hospitals or with minimum charges.
