HIV test advice please

Hello! I had no condom oral sex and deep kissing (no vaginal sex) with a sex worker (status unsure) and I kissed her clitoris for a few times on 6th April this year. I am anxious about HIV and cannot go to sleep these days. On the 18th day after exposure I got a oraquick test and it was -ve although I know that it was not accurate enough. I had pep for just about 7 days and stopped because side effects and the risk estimate from workers in CDC. Please reply me about my deeds and how can I get and when can I get an accurate test for sure because of my stopped pep (this was given  I thought mainly because the doctor saw me anxious) but I am feeling uneasy right now. Thank you!

Thank you Lizzie, you are so kind to answer my question so quickly.
Last thing I want to ask is if I take a oraquick test again at 6 weeks what is the accuracy?
Regards,
Iron

why would you want to risk getting a false positive test result and go through all the following drama of retesting, etc, when you had NO risk?

a test at 6 weeks is a good "indication" on one's status

testing is not needed

I had chickenpox when I was about 10 years old. Is herpes the same virus as chickenpox or mono?
Thank you!
