I had oral sex with my GF, before 1 year.6 months L, I applied HIV ELISA1, 2, all were negative.(god blessing)
I had again with same my GR Oral sex only and it was for few mints in my car. I got sacred this time I took my GR after 3 weeks for HIV test result NEGATIVE,
After 3 weeks I donated blood after 5 weeks of My oral sex, they told me that you have antibodies, and they told me their system is very sensitive(I did't know does it mean) then they told me they will send it to Western blot test (again I did not know)Anyway resulted negative, I do not have HIV.
After total 8 weeks, I just recovered from flu, I went to do anther test. I got ELISA TEST after 2 hrs I came; the clinic's lab staff said you can come after 2 hrs because our system now is broken down. I came after 2 hours the result was positive. The clinic told it might False positive hiv. Again they told me we will send it for western blot test as a policy of ministry of health in my country (Oman+ 1300 HIV causes, 2001 + mostly from drugs)
And the doctor advised me to do it in anther lab. Directly I went to anther clinic for ELISA 1, 2 after 2 hrs the result NEGATIVE for HIV.
after 5 days( nearly 9 weeks), I went ministry the result backed to NEGATIVE again and they told me now you are HIV Negative,.

Conclusion of the text:
1- 5 weeks blood donate (littel more antibodies) but negative with WEASTERN blot test
2- 8 weeks: 1 - ELISA TEST positive, = but same day in anther clinic ELISA 1, 2 negative.
3-After 8 weeks and 5 days (nearly 9 weeks) Western blot test NEGATIVE.
I know it is long scenario, but
In my country the test is very expensive, of course life more more more much worthy, but do I need to spend more money or should I do a party with my friends.
Your analyses please Doctor. Help
of course dr realy i reliy on them as well on you.
so 9 weeks of Weastern blot test is certain.
thanks Dr. hh
