I had Sex with a Korean bar/club girl when I was in Guam back on March 23. I don't think she was a prostitue, but I have no clue. Basically I engaged in unprotected sex for about 3-5 min. She began to menstrate and we stopped. I was covered in menstral blood. I asked her if she had anything, she said no, and she asked me the same. When I got back to the states. I got an HIV blood test 2 weeks after the unprotected sex on April 4th. Along with all my STD checks all were negative. I was very scared so I got another HIV blood test May 14th. It also came back negative. I waited until the three month mark June 23, and got a 20 Min rapid Oral Swab Test, and it came back negative. I next got another Rapid Oral HIV Test July 11, because I was having a terrible sore throat that would not go away. That test came back negative as well. My symptoms got worse and I broke out in a rash, had a horrible dry mouth, and sore throat, along with mouth soars and diarrhea. I got tested again July 23, because I was scared, and that test came back negavtive. I was next tested on August 21 with the 20 min rapid blood sample (finger *****) that test came back negative as well. On Sept 23 the 6th month mark I took another Oral Rapid HIV Test, and that came back negative. Do I need to take another HIV Test or am I negative. I have taken 7 HIV tests in 6 Months and all have been negative. When Will I know that I am HIV Negative. I plan on getting another HIV test this month. Will it matter. Or do I have to wait a year.
Thank you

Good Lord, no, you do not need another test. You have been tested far too much as it is. To answer your question: you have more than enough conclusive testing right now to know that you are absolutely HIV negative. No ifs, ands or buts - you do not have HIV.

And, before you start discussing your symptoms, let me head you off. Whatever is bothering you, it is not HIV, no way. So, if you are feeling poorly, by all means, take yourself to a doctor and let he or she examine you. I have no idea what it might be, but I know what it is not, and it is not HIV.

You have been tested way too extensively.  The only test you needed was the three month antibody test.  You are HIV negative.  No ifs, ands, or buts about it.  The incidence of HIV in heterosexual females remains quite low assuming they are not IV drug users or have had regular unprotected sexual encounterse with MSM (men who have sex with men).  You need to move on with your life.

Then why does the CDC say 6 Months to 1 Year.

Where does the CDC say 1 year?
