I'm just a bit worried and curious about something. If a prostitute tests negative for HIV, what are the chances of someone else getting infected? Also, after the window period, what kind of HIV test would be good enough to rely on?

If a prostitute tests negative for HIV, the chances of others getting infected are low but not zero. It is still possible for HIV to be transmitted through unprotected sexual contact or sharing needles with someone who is HIV positive. After the window period, the most common and reliable HIV test is the HIV antibody test. This test looks for antibodies that your body makes in response to the HIV infection. It is important to follow up with healthcare provider for proper testing and guidance.
