Your tests prove you cannot possibly have any of those infections. Your doctor is correct in her advice about testing.
IT, just read the forum. You can use the search link and enter "window period" or "seroconversion" and finds hundreds of discussions. I suggest you not waste the posting fee a new thread on this question; the reply will be no different than you can find in many other discussions.
Thank you for the information Dr. If you don't mind I have 2 final question.
1) 5 months 12 days later I got another negative for Anti Hiv 1&2 Antikor and p24 Antigen test. On the paper it says Negative but it also says ( 0,18 S/CO ). What does that mean , is it normal to get that value ?
2) All other tests were negative including chlamydia , hepatits and syphilis. However on the urinary analysis dr. said my Lokosit is 3-5 and told me to get UTI test. I said I already got that 4 months ago. She said then i dont need it. Do you think i should get checked for 3-5 lokosit level. ? Is it something important ?
Thank you
Welcome to the HIV forum. I'll try to help.
A central point we have made innumerable times: As long as standard HIV antibody tests are done long enough after exposure (just about always by 6-8 weeks), the results always outweigh symptoms in judging whether or not someone is infected. In this case, what symptoms you had don't matter; whether your CSW partner had HIV or not doesn't matter; how risky the exposure was doesn't matter. Your negative HIV tests at 6 weeks and 3 months prove you were not infected. Period, no exceptions.
To the specific questions:
1) Two days (48 hours) is fine for gonorrhea but may have been a little early for chlamydia. This hasn't been studied carefully, but many experts feel that chlamydia may be missed in people tested under 4-5 days after exposure.
2) You can trust the test results in standard HIV testing centers, pretty much anywhere in the world and certainly in the US and other industrialized countries.
3) Yes; see above. There is no realistic possibility that results have different reliability at 89 versus 90 days; that's a major hair-split.
4) Hyper-conservative sources sometimes recommend waiting 6 months for reliable testing. They are in the small minority and most experts disagree, as I do.
Bottom line: You had a relatively low risk exposure, since even if your partner had HIV, the chance of transmission was under 1 in 2,000. Combining that with the reliability of testing at 89 days, you can be absolutely certain you didn't catch HIV. But if my information about chlamydia testing makes you nervous, you could be re-tested for that.
