Possibility of being HIV positive
I recently had a brief (about 4-5 minutes) vaginal encounter with a recently infected lady. At first we did not use condoms (about 4-5 minutes) but we later used it. I managed to be on PEP within 18 hours after the encounter. Its been 8 weeks i.e. 28 days PEP and weeks after completion of PEP. I had taken rapid tests which indicates that I am HIV negative and my Dr is 95 percent certain that i am not HIV positive. In addition is that I am also circumcised. So my question to you is, should i believe my Dr that I am HIV negative or should I assume that I might be HIV positive as well?. Please help I am so stressed.
I did a 3rd Generation test on day 44 after PEP using Intec test kit which indicated HIV negative. How reliable is it?
I took last pill on 2nd April and tested on the 24 April 3 weeks with rapid test kit.
