Hi
, we completely understand how overwhelming and scary this time can be. We aren't medical professionals and cannot give out specific medical advice. However, precum is one of the five fluids that HIV can be transmitted so it depends if there was precum on one side of the condom when flipping it inside out. I want to mention that when a person takes treatment and is undetectable, the rate of transmission is essentially zero. The best thing to do in this case, especially if he isn't answering you, is to get tested.

It may be helpful to know that window periods can vary (your doctor can help determine this) - more info on those window periods here: https://h-i-v.net/test-types. With that being said, it’s still important to get tested regularly and speak about any symptoms you have with a doctor you trust. I hope this is helpful and please keep us posted on how you're doing. -Sidney (H-I-V.net Team Member) 
Alafia (Peace) I totally get how anxious this has made you feel. I not a medical doctor but I would say the best way of knowing your status is to get tested as soon as possible.
