HIV infection can be easily contracted after unclean sexual intercourse and is usually ruled out at 8 weeks for early cases and 3 months for late cases.
AIDS is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), and one of the main ways of transmission is through unclean sexual intercourse. In general, after HIV infection, the virus starts to replicate heavily in the body in 1-2 weeks. Since the virus carries the p-24 antigen, the infection can be determined by the latest testing method to detect the p-24 antigen 2 weeks after the unclean sexual intercourse. The virus can stimulate the body to produce antibodies in about 4-8 weeks from the start of infection, but some patients can remain negative for 2-3 months. If the antibody test is still negative 8 weeks after the infection, the infection can be ruled out in most cases; if you are not sure, you can test again 3 months after the infection.
The earlier the sexually transmitted disease is diagnosed and treated, the better the control and prognosis of the patient’s condition, so it is important to seek timely medical attention from the Department of Venereal Diseases or the Department of Infectious Diseases after having unclean sex.
