Because birth control information is not readily available to many because of religious interference in proper education, the poster may have been confused.
Here is the information on HIV which may have confused her-.him.
An HIV test will not detect the presence of the HIV virus immediately after exposure. Statistics show that 96% (perhaps higher) of all infected individuals will test positive within 2 to 12 weeks. In some cases, this may take up to six months.
Think about this: if you got a negative test at six weeks, would you believe it? Would it make you less anxious? If so, go for it. But to be certain, you will need to be tested again at six months.

Please remember that while HIV is the most serious STD, it is certainly not the only one. Do not forget herpes etc etc etc
and that really all important sexually transmitted condition of pregnancy!!
