Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I Can suggest the investigations for confirmation of HIV. You can undergo CIA following possible unprotected sex. In this P24 antigen of HIV 1 and antibody to HIV 1/2 will be tested. The P 24 antigen test helps to know the HIV antigen with in 2-4 weeks following possible exposure. If the HIV 1/2 comes negative it dose not mean your HIV free, because you may be in the window period (90 days). If you test for HIV 1/2 antibody after 90 days, if it comes negative it confirms there is no HIV infection. Thank you.
