Rapid test after 9 week after kissing
Hello,
i would like to ask and i know it will sound stupid but i couldnt live like this anymore.
I have just made myself a hiv oraquick test after 9 weeks after possible exposure. That was kissing for me, deep kissing which lasted for like 10 seconds. I know it is considered to be no risk but i am OCD and my brain thinks differently. And i have amazing job and i need to focus on work and nice things. I tried to keep on for 9 weeks but now i lost my nerves.
I would like to ask if i can consider it conclusive, i know it is supposed to be 3 months but also doctors send people for testing after 6 weeks usually, and i know it depends on your immune system.
For me it is okay, or at least i would like to believe it and really move on, but recently i dont feel very well, thats the reaosn why i lost my nerves, i have this cold symptoms which isnt helping at all.
So anyone from you, who has experience and wont beat me for asking, can i consider this done and move on?
Thank you very much for answer and take care.

You don't have HIV so your test was conclusive and you can move on. However since this is an OCD issue it becomes complicated to resolve your fear from a chat forum, so might be better for you to seek therapy with the person who diagnosed you.
