BECAUSE YOU HAD NO HIV RISK!
Earlier CDC said 6 months , now its changed to 3 months , It will change soon, 4th GEN test will look for HIV protein which is highly available before antibodies come. So 28 days is good to know your status. If you still worrying test yourself at 3 months with 3rd generation test. But you will get the same result which you have done in 4th gen test at 28 days.
One last thing. CDC, people on The Body website all recommend three months as a conclusive time frame. How can you two that responded know a negative test at five and a half weeks is legit?
2 people have already told you no risk, enough please.
Can anyone else offer another assuring message that there is no HIV risk to me or any of my karate classmates.
You do not have an HIV risk.
Yes I am concerned for my partner. On March 14, 2015 I received oral sex from a woman. I was the insertive. I climaxed in her mouth. That and french-kissing before the oral sex is all that happened. On March 18 I got tested for HIV and it came back negative a few days later. My doctor recommended a second HIV test for one month later. I took it one week ago on April 21 which was five and a half weeks after the oral sex. I received the negative results four days later on April 25. I don't know the exact kind of test but it was the kind where blood is drawn from the arm into about a three inch glass vile. My anxiety is whether five and half weeks(38 days) after a possible exposure is long enough for a conclusive negative result and if it isn't could HIV develop in one week and put my partner at risk if he did have any contact with my blood.
If you had a 4th generation DUO test at 5 weeks post exposure, the results are conclusive and you DO NOT have HIV.
If I am understanding your question correctly, you are concerned for your karate partner? He had NO RISK.
Where is your anxiety coming from?

You do NOT have HIV, therefore there was NO RISK for you or your karate partner.
What are you anxious about?
