Need encouragement to do a conclusive oraquick test

OMG!  I hate the internet! If I would have never watched a video about HIV I would have never been 2nd guessing my results.  
As you all know,  I tested negative at 5 weeks almost 6 weeks after exposure with an oraquick test.
I live just a walking distance from the Rite-Aid pharmacy and I still have not purchase a test for a conclusive result. I think that I am HIV positive. However I will not know this for sure until I buy a test.
I hate that I decided to have risky sex with a supposedly guy friend that passed trich to me. I was negative for all other infections except trich "the annoying parasite".
I lived 8 months being confident with a 5 week going on 6 week negative.

Please give me much encouragement

I think your question is how do you get motivated to do a test. If so, consider what you will say to the next person you want to have sex with.
Depending on whether you test, it might be one of the following:
1. I tested negative so am a responsible person, and can you show me your test so I know you are also negative?
OR
2. I am afraid to test, so I am just guessing that I don't have HIV.

Can you define "risky sex"?
