I had unprotected sex about three months ago, and while I haven't noticed any specific issues, I'm a bit worried and want to make sure I don't have any STDs or STIs. What tests should I get? Are there any good labs in Bangalore for this? And how often should I be getting tested?

I'm really worried after what happened. I took an HIV test using the CMIA method at 7 and 8 months post-exposure, and both times it showed non-reactive results with index values of 0.09 and 0.25. Can I consider myself completely free from HIV, or is there something else I should be doing?

Yes you are free from the infection as you had a risky exposure,bettr get your self tested every six months for a period of 2 years
