Hi all...Hiv and Hep

Can someone tell me if antibodies to HIV and Hepatitis C both take the same time to appear on a test?  I am confused about this, and new here. Someones help?  I tested at 2 months after a vaginal sexual exposure for Hep A,B, and C. All were negative.   Am I free of Hep??

Dr. K. said and I quote, "The University of California San Francisco and the San Francisco Dept. of Public Health just completed a study of men in San Francisco who have only had oral sex and found zero new HIV infections. A very recent study from Spain confirmed earlier studies that oral sex is safe sex in terms of HIV."

He doesn't say safer sex. he said safe sex in terms of HIV. If he thought their was a risk he would have stated so.
