My ex partner of 1 year,  got diagnosed with HIV. The last time we were together was 9 months ago (July 2020)  that’s when we had unprotected sex. 

I’d like to add that I had no major symptoms, just some allergies, and itchy skin and anxiety.  

Welcome to the Forum and thanks for your questions.  I appreciate how disconcerting it can be to learn that a past sex partner has been diagnosed with HIV.  You do not mention the intensity of your exposures to this partner or the types of exposure, not do you mention any other risks that your previous partner might have.  That said, after 9 months the results of a 4th generation Alere HIV antigen/antibody test should be entirely reliable.  The Alere test has been approved for use in the U.S. since 2013 and provides reliable results at all times more than 6 weeks after an unprotected exposure.---

Hello Doctor, 

That is a relief. Thank you! 

Thanks for the additional information.  Even without knowing when he might have been infected, your statistical risk is relatively low even if he were infected.  Insertive sex is lower risk that receptive rectal intercourse and the per event risk for infection if he were infected is less than a 0.1% risk per episode of insertive intercourse.  Believe your test results.  EWH---

Doctor,

None of these are in any way suggestive of HIV.  I urge you not to overthink things.  EWH ---

Thank you doctor, I will try not to. 

Or the antigen 

I really think you are worrying about something that you do not need to worry about.  If you are uneasy with your test results, feel free to test again.  I am confident the results will be the same.  We provide up to three responses for each client's questions.  This is my 4th response.  Thus following this response there will be no further responses.  I hope that the information I have provided has been helpful.  ---
