Patient asked followup Question: 12 years ago
I had sex with a sex worked in South Korea, and the Condom broke during the act. I think my penis was inside her for about 4-5 minutes after the breakage, there was no blood, involved and i washed my genitals after about 30 mins. I am really terrified at the possibility of HIV and STDs. Let me know about it.

Hi,
HIV is a disease in which the symptoms usually comes after about 6 months to infinity. They may not even appear for as long as 10 years.
P-24 antigen is the first test to come positive.
Elisa won't appear positive till the antibodies are not made in your against the virus,it is not 100 percent true but usually it is considered to be effective.(even if it is positive, even then it is not sure that you have hiv) because it can come positive in other diseases which affect immune system
There is still no test to confirm about hiv ,which says that you have it 100 percent,and it is very difficult to comment,that is why it is said to be a deadly disease.
Std will have symptoms like fever,penile discharge,rashes,testicular pain,lower abdominal pain,cloudy urine.
If you have any of the above symptoms then visit a doctor immediately.
