View allI had protected sex with a woman using two condoms at the same time for about 10 minutes. Later, I read online that using two condoms together is not recommended, and I became worried. I took three HIV tests (rapid and ELISA) at around 30 days after the encounter, and all came back negative. Do I need to get tested again, or is it not necessary?

Hi, I am very scared. Please help me. After 80 days of unprotected exposure with a paid partner whose HIV status is unknown, my HIV test report from Dr. Lal Path Lab using the antibody/antigen combo test is 0.82 (non reactive). This value is very close to 1, so I am very stressed that I may still get HIV at the 90th day or after 3 months. Please help me. I am extremely worried.

I went to a lab where they took my blood to do a test. The needle was sealed, but they used cotton that was probably used for another patient. My hand was sanitized and the cotton was used immediately after the injection was removed. Do I have a risk of HIV or any other infections? If so, please inform me what I need to do for HIV PEP?
