However, it's important to note that no method of protection is 100% foolproof. While condoms are highly effective, there is still a small possibility of transmission if there is direct contact between an infected fluid and uncovered skin. In the scenario you described, where approximately 20% of the penis is exposed, there may be a slightly increased risk compared to using a properly fitted condom that covers the entire penis. If you are concerned about potential exposure to hiv or any other sexually transmitted infection (sti), it's important to consult with a healthcare professional or a sexual health clinic. They can provide you with accurate information, guidance, and advice specific to your situation. Additionally, they can discuss options for testing, prevention, and any necessary treatments.

Combo test is pretty accurate after 2 -3 weeks of exposure. Though we do recommend a test repeat after 3 months as most antibody form after 3 months but it is false to say no test can detect hiv before 3 months. It your initial day 3 and 1 month test is negative there are very less chance of 3 month test being positive. Initial symptoms of hiv are flu like illness and they are non specific do contact me for further diagnosis and treatment or if you still have some doubts you want to clear.

The hiv 3rd generation test is a sensitive and accurate test that detects the presence of hiv antibodies in the blood. It can be used to detect hiv infection in individuals who have been exposed to the virus at least three weeks prior to the test. The presence of ssris in the body is unlikely to interfere with the test's ability to detect hiv antibodies. Actually most drugs do not affect test efficiency. Only some immunosuppression drugs, chemo, steroids may affect test accuracy. Though many drugs affect treatment efficiency by increasing or decreasing metabolism of drugs.

If your friend is concerned about sti or hiv transmission, it is crucial for him to seek medical advice from a healthcare professional or visit a sexual health clinic as soon as possible. They can evaluate his specific situation, conduct appropriate testing, and provide proper guidance and treatment if necessary. Testing is the only way to confirm whether an infection has been transmitted. In terms of prevention, it's important to note that certain stis, including hiv, may not show immediate symptoms, and it can take time for an infection to become detectable. Using barrier methods of contraception, such as condoms, during sexual activity can help reduce the risk of sti transmission. Encourage your friend to consult with a healthcare professional or sexual health clinic as soon as possible for proper evaluation and guidance. They can provide accurate information, conduct appropriate testing, and discuss potential treatment options based on his specific situation.
