Please Answer
Hi, I had vaginal sex with a prostitute woman about 14 months ago. I did some tests as fallow:
Antigen p24: 23 days after relation;
Antibody Eliza: 42 days after relation and
Rapid test: 92 days after relation.
All tests results were negative.
I had symptoms such as flu, rash, stomachache, constipation and incredible stress and anxiety between 14 to 35 days after relation.
After 14 months, I'm still worried that the test results might not be true. I live in Iran and usually lab equipments are imported from China and I doubt if the test equipments are work truly or not and maybe have been expired.
So please help me, I need your suggestions. If I need more accurate test?

In an adult, a positive HIV antibody test result means that the person is infected, a person with a negative or inconclusive result may be in the “window for 4 to 6 weeks but occasionally up to 3 months after HIV exposure. Persons at high risk who initially test negative should be retested 3 months after exposure to confirm results

Dear Vance,
Excuse me, I'm not going to bother, but here doctors say "you should test after 6 months" and this contradiction makes me worried. If I had the courage, I will go and test tomorrow and finish this matter, but alas I had not.

According to above descriptions, is test after 3 months conclusive? I mean with 2nd generation test kit.
Thank you Teak.
But Is it possible that HIV test kit had expired?I think in my country 2nd generation of test kits are used and every thing is lagged compared with developed countries. Can it affect on my test result?
