Risk analysis with ELISA

Hi. thank you for  this. have a slight concern. It was the 6th month mark for this test and it was negative (3 days ago;). During this 6 month interval I had no sex except for hand masturbation through clothing and receiving a massage that only got awkward when the massager slipped his Hand through my crack. But not to my anal region. (SORRY TO BE SO GRAPHIC) I know this doesn't transmit HIV right?

Furthermore,  I have sleeping medication that is quite strong. I sometimes go to the shops after taking it (I walk, it's literally downstairs from my apartment) I wonder if I blacked out and had sex with someone. In the past I always remember snippets of interaction the next day- even if I was on sleep meds. Interaction like greeting someone or bagging my grocery.
So I don't think I did. Also there is nobody here who will oblige me If I was looking for sex. From my apartment to the shops it is like 150 meters. They would have to come back to my apartment with me and I'm sure I would have remembered something.

Please can you weigh in on this situation. I know I have OCD and problems. I am taking medication for it.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this. Please let me know what you think.

Hi, I tested due to a dipping penetration incident, six months prior. It was for 5 seconds and was classified a risk.

What about stuff I might not remember. When I was taking sleeping pills?

That's an irrational thought process, probably a result of your OCD (which I assume you have based on your username).  Your test was more than conclusive, you don't have HIV.  I would recommend working on addressing your OCD.
