Typical testing regimen is at 1 month (more than 28 days) and 6 months. If either is positive, you will be offered medications that reduce the viral load in your bloodstream. You should talk to your Dr about using PrEP while you are waiting for results, and even if they come back negative. These prophylactic meds can prevent HIV infection during high risk encounters.

I agree with Dr. Kratzberg. You seem to be aware that your could get a sexually transmitted disease by haivng unprotected sex, so is there any reason why you are doing it? Do recommend that you get tested at one month point.
