What risk of HIV?

Hi, last year I visited Amsterdam and had protected sex with 3 sex workers. Condoms were used everytime throughout the whole experience. When I got back home i had a hiv test at 2weeks (p24 and elisa4th gen) which came back negative, i also had a biosure test at 3months and 6months which was also negative.
My question is,
What risk of hiv is there if you use condoms
Did i expose myself to hiv
Should i test again at 9months

Hi Anxious Guy. The incident you have described is very low risk, the chance of contracting HIV whilst using a condom is virtually impossible. The BioSURE HIV self test will be conclusive 12 weeks post possible exposure so there will be no need to re-test at 9 months. I know this is easier said than done however I would recommend trying to put this incident behind you as we all have many worries and stresses in our life and HIV is not one of yours. Kindest regards Francesca Bard, BioSure (UK) Ltd
