What are the chances? Can’t give you a number or statistic. But yes it does increase your chances of catching the virus, but only because it’s been linked to more high-risk sexual behavior (government study linked below). Basically, amphetamines themselves don’t increase your chances, it’s what you do after you use them. They found that a large number of men who used amphetamines before sex ended up being careless because of it (not using condoms, rough sex, etc.). So that’s why they say that.
And anybody can test positive a month after testing negative. It can often take 3-6 months before HIV shows up during testing. Somewhere around 99% of people would test positive after 3 months though. That’s why if you get tested, you should always return at 3 months and then again at 6 months just to make sure.
If you think you might have contracted it, get tested. Google “free hiv testing” in your city and you’ll find plenty of clinics, or you can go down to the health department. It only takes about 20 minutes to get tested.
