7 weeks negative, 12 weeks rapid test faint line

I got 7 weeks negative from rapid test and ELISA result in March.

I test again today for 12 weeks result. But we found faint line shown on rapid test. I need to wait for blood test result next week.

I am now really scared. The nurse saw a very faint line. I cannot see the faint line by my untrained eyes. But I am now extremely scared.

The doctor explain to me that it is not definite result and we need to wait for blood test come out next week. He said the negative result in 7 weeks is a very good indicator since most of the positive can be detected in 4 weeks.

I read many people and experts saying that they never see people turns positive if they are 6 weeks negative. I really scared to be the first one.

Rapid tests are known to give false positives, you have an interterminate test. Not positive.

It was 12 weeks ago and my first test was done 7 weeks after exposure.

Unprotected oral for two seconds and protected vaginal intercourse with prostitute.

She put lotion in her vaginal by her hand before sex. After few minutes vaginal intercourse, I took off condom and she did masturbation with her hand. Is it possible I was infected because of the vaginal fluid on her hand contact with my penis?
