HIV Rapid Test week 9 accuracy

Hi,

I am concerned about my HIV status. On Oct 13, 2015, I kissed a guy who found out later a HIV positive. The act lasted few seconds and no penetration or ejaculation made. However, I am still worried maybe he have sores inside the mouth which can transmit to me.

I have done HIV Test using Rapid Test on week no 3, 4, 6 and 9 . All result are negative. However , on week no 9, I found out that I have whitish layer on my cheek and few white spots ulcer under the cheek. Could it be related to HIV.?

I will repeat the test on week 12 for sure. But in the mean time I am worried.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks

No risk here, really.
But i know what anxiety is, so maybe you will feel better to do antibody test at 3 months after risk just and JUST because your anxiety,note i said JUST BECAUSE OF ANXIETY. But i know you do not need test at all.
