Home / Answered Questions / Hi Just a quick question related to a rapid combo hiv test that I completed due to a low risk matter (receipt of unprotected oral) over 3 moths ago. Result was negative however anxiety of the circumstance may have gotten the better of me and became concerned about the only other activity (receipt of handjob unprotected) since the oral that occurred 17 days prior to test. Should I really be concerned about the handjob and wait for the right window period or move on as it really is a no risk scenario. Your advice and/or assurance will be appreciated.Good luck and keep up the great work

Hi, you are correct in that the handjob is considered a no risk for HIV. There is no need to do any further testing for these past experiences. You can now move back to your regular routine testing schedule.
