Dr
I had a encounter with a CSW in first week of July ie 6th july to be exact. I tested with ORaquick at 1 week, 3 weeks and then 8 weeks , All negative. After 3 ( ie exactly 90 days of exposure) months of exposure I tested again with Oraquick Advance it was negative also. After 109 days did a ICMA blood test from labcorp for 10 panel STD , IT came out negative also. I have the following questions.
1) Can this results be conclusive ?
2) I was on anti malaria medication after 8 weeks of exposure (melfoquine), will this affect the results?
3) Do I need to test at 6 months ?
4) I did mild have sore throat and cough from week 10 to 14 , will this and the medication have any effect on the Test I have done.
5) I have read that cancer or terminal illness affect antibody production. As I am a smoker and have inflamation in my throat , will this be a hidden cause for all negative results and do I need to test more ie after 6 months.?
