Finger cut.

So today I was at work (I work with alcohol). A can p beer fell into a drainage bin in the back beer storage room, I reached in to grab it and a broken beer bottle glass cut my thumb and it bled pretty well for a bit then stopped. I'm wondering if I should be concerned about this and get tested or move on. I washed it off with soap an hand sanitizer. I then put peroxide on it. But back to my question. Should I be concerned or move on?

first it was a broken bottle, then it was deep kissing, and then it was a split lip, then it was 83 days, now its 83-90 day difference in testing, you never needed testing, so your testing has been conclusive from the start...

Yes, it's as conclusive.

Is 84 days (12 weeks) considered the same at 3 months (~90 days)?

Lizzie - you said 1 day wouldn't make a difference so my test is conclusive. Does that mean a negative OraSure test at 83 days is conclusive?

K thanks Lizzie. Just wanted to make sure the split lip and the fact that she bit me would be no risk and that I don't need any additional testing, correct?

I've hesitated to have sex with my new gf and want to but want to be sure I'm ok.
