Aids scare
My husband suffers from bipolar and had a one night stand. When is the best time/how long afterwards do you have an AIDS Test? Please help.

Dear Billy
You have to do an Aids test at 3 mo and 6 mo and 1 year after the episode if you do the antibody test. The Viral load tests will show positive after 1 month but is more expensive. If he indulges in risky behaviour often then you should use a condom as protection.
