High risk unprotected anal

High risk unprotected anal

Hey I'm a 21 year old Filipino living in Los Angeles about a month and 3 days ago I had a high risk exposure where I had unprotected anal sex with a 32 year old white male, it was my first sexual experience and I was the bottom. I know the risk of my exposure was high, I had experienced many symptoms, but I realized it was all anxiety and stress and when I realized that it all went away. I've had no fevers or rashes besides the kind that go away in like an hour or less, which I'm thinking could be bed bugs nibbling on my skin. I got tested for STDs which all came back negative, and I got tested for HIV in the 4 week mark, through a oraquick advance rapid blood test, which came back negative, I even got to see my stick which clearly showed only 1 line on it. I know a 6 or 8 week neg is reassuring and a 3 month is conclusive but how would my 4 week negative rapid test put me in from your experiences???

I've always relied on the kindness of strangers. Through my one mistake I learned my lesson and any advice, opinions, experiences or anything will help me :-)

4 week rapid test won't tell you a thing about your status. As you already know 3 months post exposure will give you your conclusive test result.

Ok, I understand and will test again at the 3 month mark. Just a little question or just reassurance, even though my exposure was the highest risk of HIV transmission if I get a negative at 3 months again with a rapid oraquick, their is no need to test at 6 months right?? I can wait out the 3 months.

the type of risk one has does not change the window period / testing guidelines.

a risk is a risk is a risk !

Okay thanks everyone that helps, this question hopefully won't irritate/annoy anyone just need an opinion but would a growth hormone deficiency in a person cause seroconverting to take longer???
Sorry if I'm being bothersome : )
