A member asked:
8 days ago, i felt i got exposed to hiv virus. the following day, i took pep from a clinic after being tested negative. now, 6 days later i had unprotected sex with my gf, is it possible i could have transmitted the virus to her? what do you advise?

Unlikely: Given that you were on PEP (presumably Post Exposure Prophylaxis) after the exposure and tasted negative, the risk is low. Nevertheless, there is a risk, especially given history of unprotected sex. It would be best to avoid any exposure for the next two weeks. However, if that would not be the case, thorough protection should be utilized.
