...unprotected* as i stated in my introductory post (single encounter)
i am a white male, who had sex with a white female, no drugs for either of us. i dont think that is high risk?
and im going to get a test at 6 weeks, so is 6 weeks reliable for a rapid oral quik test?
There are no tests marketed or sold to give a conclusive test result earlier than 3 months.
All testing follows the same basic steps:
The window period lasts 4 to 6 weeks but occasionally up to 3 months after HIV exposure. Persons at high risk who initially test negative should be retested 3 months after exposure to confirm results.

Number 4
3 months? 6 weeks is enough or not?
HIV is not diagnosed by symptoms. You can obtain your conclusive test result 3 months post exposure.
