A member asked:

HIV "WIndow": the timing you describe should mean that any risk of contracting HIV from your Dec encounter is past. The usual "window" period when the virus is not detectable with most currently used tests is now measured in weeks rather than months. Still appropriate precautions are always advisable-- the best of which is monogamy with a similarly minded mate!
