Get tested: Sex with someone who engages in commercial sex work carries an increased risk of exposure to hiv, especially if you did not use a condom during the encounter. A CBC is not a reliable test for hiv. After a risky exposure, one should be tested for HIV antibody at weeks 6, 12 and 24 after exposure. If you have a flu-like illness that lasts more than a few days, your doc may also test HIV rna.
