    You could go to the Thai Red Cross Clinic now, but better to wait until it has been 14 days. If you test negative you will be advised to have additional test at 3 and 6 months just to be sure, but negative PCR at 13 days means infection is highly unlikely.

     

    It is rather meaningless to try to ask about odds as there are so many unknown variables. If your partner was HIV negative then of course the risk is zero. If your partner was HIV positive but on medication and virally suppressed, also virtually zero. If your partner was HIV positive and had a low viral load  then slight risk. Highest risk is if your partner was HIV+ with a high viral load.

     

    Also depends on whether you or your partner had any breaks in the skin of the penis/neovagina.

     

    The receptive partner is always at more risk than the penetrative partner so assuming you were the latter the odds are certainly in your favor even if your partner was infected with a significant viral load -- but odds aren't really going to put your mind at ease until you know for sure, as even 1000:1 odds in your favor are no good if you happen to be the unlucky one in a thousand.

     

    Hang on another 3-4 days then got to the Red Cross clinic.

     

     

     

    Thank you so much Sheryl for the informative answer to my questions. I will definitely go to the Red Cross Clinic after 4 days. There is so much different information online about how long should be waited in order to get a good result. And it also depends on the test method. Apparently the test method that Red Cross clinic uses is the one that gives a highly reliable result from 14 days onwards from the exposure, right?
