Accepted Answer

Very very minor: The situation you described carries very very minor risk of contracting HIV.

No test will show a positive result immediately after presumed exposure as it takes time for the virus to grow.

Accepted Answer

Rapid HIV test: The sensitivity and specificity of rapid HIV tests are over 99%. However, it is recommended that you repeat the HIV test in 6 months because that is how long it may take for your system to produce antibodies to the virus.  Always use a barrier method of birth control such as a condom to prevent HIV.
