Dear Doc, Last night I had an unsafe sex with one of my friend. I am afraid of HIV. I don't know whether my partner was negative or not. How can I make sure if I am negative? Can I now test my blood to make sure?

You have to wait for 12-15 day s for 3rd generation HIV test, again after 3 months with ELISA test. If the partner is a close friend, easier would be to get him tested. Next time use barrier contraceptives and be safe.
