I've got a situation that's been on my mind. I ended up having paid sex with a woman who said she wasn't a professional. We used a condom, but later I realized there was a small hole in it. This really got me worried, so I went for an HIVDUO IVth Generation test just to be sure. I had sex on the 17th of March and I got tested on the 19th. The result mentioned that it's non-reactive with a value of 0.32 unit SCO. Can you help me understand what this means and what I should do next?

it detects both HIV antibodies and the p24 antigen .The test you took on March 19th (only 2 days after the possible exposure) is quite early, and it might not have been able to detect HIV infection if it occurred after that exposure. It's generally recommended to retest for HIV at 46 weeks post-exposure for a more reliable result. If you are still concerned about the possibility of HIV, you might be a candidate for PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis). PEP is a treatment regimen that can prevent HIV if started within 72 hours of exposure

Also how long does the hypersensitivity last because I'm still uncomfortable wearing shorts and walking

Dr prescribed fertisure m to my husband because his sperm motility is around 30%. How long will it take before we start seeing improvements? And how many months might it take to achieve good sperm motility with this medication? I'm just a bit anxious about how soon this tablet starts working.
