I had sex with a prostitute about five months ago where there was a blowjob, some really quick fingering, and we used a condom with Vaseline lubricant. I got tested at a path lab in Malaysia with an HIV 1 and 2 ag ab Elisa test and the results came back non-reactive. I also did a rapid test kit five months later and that was negative too. Do I really need to get tested again at six months, or can I just move on and stop worrying about this?
