My husband and I are expecting a baby within the next few months. The day after I found out I was pregnant, I was raped by an old friend. I didnt tell anyone, and tried to put it out of my mind. To make a long story short, there was penetration, but he pulled out to ejaculate. I know the risk from one time exposure is small, but I also dont know his status, and will NOT contact him to find out.

My question is this: Because of the pregnancy, I was screened for ALL stds, including HIV. I was tested 80 days after possible exposure. I know 12 weeks is enough time, and my dr. says twelve weeks is 84 days, so there is no need to retest. I worry about the baby, and from reading postings here, I feel paranoid, but know I am not the only one. Just looking for some reassurance. I had no signs of ARS I am aware of, except when my wisdon tooth began coming in 4 weeks post-exposure, and was tired and feverish, but figured it was the tooth.

Is the 80 day test enough??

Thanks!!

12 weeks is accurate. Neither you or your unborn baby have HIV.

Your old friend souns like a real creep. This is totally another topic but I hope you told the authorities. Doesn't sound like you did though otherwise they would test him.
