Need Help & Clarity!!!

I am 21yo male and quite scarred about this. I'll try to keep this as short as possible. I was in Mexico August 1st. Hooked up with CSW. What happened. She fingered my ***, gave me a **, and I had anal sex with her. I don't know what was and wasn't protected I'm hoping the anal was protected but I can't remember. I came while receiving the ** but she didn't let me *** in her mouth but into her hand instead.

Testing history

4 weeks and 8 weeks tested negative w/ unigold rapid test @ planned parenthood.

Ok so at exactly 9.5 WEEKS this would be 67days (67/7=9.5)This is where I'm not sure. I went into San Francisco city clinic it was a little bit of a drive but considering the HIV problem in San Francisco i figured that they would know quite well what they are talking about. Plus it's free.

I did a full STD test. Every thing came up negative, I have shown zero symptoms to any std or HIV (ARS)

The HIV testing they did at sf clinic included an ELISA anti-body test and an RNA test which they say searches for the virus it's self here is the SFcity clinic website on this:
http://www.dph.sf.ca.us/sfcityclinic/drk/hivaids29.asp

They say the RNA test can detect the virus as early as 9-12 days after exposure. (so definitely earleir than an anti-body test)

So I went on Monday to receive to test results as they require you to come in person and they told me both came back negative. So no anti-body's found with ELISA and no virus found with RNA (on the results paper it said something next to the RNA like ></50/ml something like that not sure if it was greater or less than) either way it was negative for both test.

The counselor there told me 100% for sure I didn't get infected from that exposure, and I don't need more testing. I also asked her about HIV2 and she said something would have come up on the rna test that would indicate hiv-2 testing was needed.


My main questions-
1. Should I do more testing? Or am I good?
2. Is it possible that exactly 2 weeks after the test in SF that I could come up positive on a rapid hiv test? I ask because yesterday I recieved this stupid rapid hiv test from taiwan and I did the test at home and waited 15 minutes and it said negative but then I looked like an hour later and there was like this faint squigly line next to the T which would indicate postive, but it was really clear I think maybe it was just the blood and solution drying up next to the T?
3. So given the fact that exactly 2 weeks before hand I tested negative with ELISA and RNA, even if I was positive for HIV is it possible for the rapid test to show positive?

it didnt come out right.

after this sentance:

it ment to say (on the results paper it said something next to the RNA like >< 50/ml im not sure if it was greater than or less than but i figure you know what this means but the rna test was definitely negative .

The only approved home test in the US by the FDA and CDC is Home Access no other home tests are approved.

Yes I kn ow this but A. that doesn't mean it doesnt work. b. for some one as paranoid as I am about this saying the fda doesn't approve doesn't help me. The answers to my 3 questions would help me. That is not to say I don't appreciate you taking time out of your day to help me but i'm just so tired of this whole ordeal and want to hopefully move on.

3 months is when you can obtain your conclusive test result. Any test done any earlier will not give you a conclusive test result.

[mrpoor]

Thanks teak... What about referring to questions I had #2 and #3? And what makes 3 months conclusive? Isn't there a chance some people go beyond that?

[Teak]

Years of test data..You don't fall within the group that might take longer so there is no sense discussing it.

[fashiongirl]

people that test positive past 3 months either have severely weakened immune systems (the common cold/flu and most other illness will not cause that so don't question whether you having a sniffly nose would delay your results) are on chemotherapy and similar chemotherapy drugs, I believe that there is another one but i can't remember at this moment.

That's the reason for you to stay out of this forum.
