This should be post exposure prophylaxis treatment.

Also a final confirmatory test after 3 months of exposure
do contact me for further diagnosis and treatment or if you still have some doubts you want to clear.

Unless you are sure of your partners hiv status, there is always risk of 0.1 percentage per exposure that is unprotected.
Best would be to get tested and if you are high risk take post exposure prophylaxis in 72 hours of exposure.

Only way to get infected with hiv is getting in contact with body fluids of infected person.
If both of you are monogamous, and tested negative then you shouldn't get infected.

Best would be to repeat it after 3 months of exposure as three dot test is antibody based and it may not be accurate in early window period.
