Well, if you had continued to have unprotected sex with her, then it is always a moving target about testing. We like to have 12 months from any concerning encounter (and these are concerning encounters) to do the blot. If you did the blot now and it was positive, then that would be the final answer. But if it’s negative, then testing in the future would give you more information. To be real, condoms reduce transmission from females to males by 65% so good, but not perfect.
