How accurate is HIV test 5 weeks post-exposure with 4th gen rapid test?

Any form of sexual activity with anyone, regardless of gender or type of sexual encounter, carries a chance of passing on a STD. If you think you have a STD, you should abstain from sexual relations and get yourself treated. Even if STD is not transmitted every time you have sex, they can be transmitted any time you have sex.

I wouldn't be too worried if you do not have any cuts in your skin while you were in physical contact with your hands. 1) Human Immunodeficiency Virus - HIV can only survive in bodily fluids. It does not survive very long in open air. Unless you had contact with the vaginal or seminal fluid from the genitalia of the affected individual, it's unlikely were exposed to the virus in the first place. 2) Your skin has strong natural barrier against viruses and bacterial and HIV (virus) cannot penetrate through the layers of your skin to reach the vulnerable tissue which HIV thrives on.
