Can i transmit hiv after a week of exposure (i gave oral to an hiv+ woman). i started pep immediately after the exposure.

HIV transmission: In short, the answer to your question is yes, it is possible for your to transmit HIV after your exposure. But the probability of this depends on a few things: 1) are you infected with the virus 2) If you are, how high is the viral level in your blood 3) Do you use barrier contraception. Using post exposure prophylaxis lowers the chances of transmission, but there are no guarantees
