HIV Testing in Malaysia (opinion)

Dear Experts,

I had possible exposure of unprotected sex with CSW back on June 08 in Malaysia.
ELISA test done at 6wks, 19 wks, 25 wks & 37 wks...all came back negative...
Is further testing required??? 12/13 wks is conclusive right??

But..for your info...in Malaysia..most doctors & test labs told me the same story...
the window period of HIV and other STD's is 3-6 months...what a shame...
Malaysian Aids Council already stated inside their website that it can be detected within 3 wks- 3 months....
They're not updated right?? Now, we are in 2009...and they are still using the old guideline....what the hell....

That's why sometimes the wrong info given can cause anxiety & panic for those people at risk...including myself...
As we know...anxiety will ruin our life and it will be long lasting...will show up with too many physical & emotional symptoms...

Any comments??

So will having unprotected sex without knowing your partners status. 3 months is when you can obtain your conclusive negative test, which you have done. Your negative.
