How is AIDS transmitted?

Patient's question:

I was a bit confused last weekend and ended up in a room with a prostitute. However, I was too nervous at the time, and I had already been experiencing issues with erectile dysfunction, so I couldn't insert properly. Later, she helped me place my penis into her vagina, but because it was too short, it didn't go in deep—it just rubbed against the vaginal opening for about ten seconds. Out of fear, I pulled it out. When I did, there was a small amount of her on my penis, so I immediately wiped it off with my long johns. I didn’t wear a condom, and now I’m feeling very scared because during the second week, I noticed a sore throat and some itchy spots on my body.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, AIDS is a sexually transmitted disease, and the main routes of transmission are sexual contact, blood transmission, and mother-to-child transmission.
It is recommended that you get an HIV test at 6 weeks. Modern scientific testing methods generally can rule out infection within 6 weeks. Pay attention to maintaining a clean lifestyle and reduce the opportunity of infection.
