See your doctor: If you are concerned about possible exposure to HIV, you need to see a doctor immediately. 50 days is too late for post-exposure prophylaxis however your doctor could still advise you and tell you which is the next step. There are many tests to take: antibody test, rapid test, other novel tests. The window period from exposure to positive tests may be up to 3 months.
