Going to keep it short so here it is: recieved oral sex with condom from sex worker and then anal sex where I don't remember if I wore condom. Symptoms I have: stuffed nose for months, gums seem darker, back of tounge seems white, and blister on upper lip twice these past 3 months. I've taken a margin of 10 test(all negative)  since my risk and my last test (blood drawn) was 8 months since my risk. I understand all this testing would say enough but my symptoms aren't helping me out, please help!!

Any test you do now, will be conclusive. Common antibody tests are conclusive after 3 months of exposure

Ok you're right about the symptoms so I'll forget about that.. But when is a test conclusive? I thought a negative at 8 months would be well but I don't know what to believe these days..

There is no way on the earth known to mankind to determine the infection from symptoms alone. Symptoms are confusing and misleading most of the times. Many common infections have the same symptoms as ARS. Also, many actually HIV infected people remain totally asymptomatic.

Since you do not remember that your anal penetration was protected or not, better to assume the worst case and get yourself tested for a simple HIV Antibody test anytime now and collect your conclusive report, and move on with your life.
