Testing out to 6 months hasn't been recommended since 2004. And it is completely irresponsible to not test for HIV

"I will but I'm not gonna do a hiv test I don't wanna know the outcome "

Irresponsible attitude. You want your next sex partner to think the same way?

It's your responsibility to know your health status, especially when it will effect others.

No.  I have told you that you are reliably negative.  I also told you that if you are still concerned, go take a rapid test and collect your inevitably negative result.  Your test results will not change from what they have previously been.  I realize you had a risk, but you also tested at the appropriate times.  Now you're saying you are not going to take another test? Why would you come to an HIV PREVENTION COMMUNITY, discuss your risks, be told you can test if you are still concerned, then say you're not going to test? Do not tell me I am rude when I have been more than patient with you.

I'm not looking for sympathy at all and your kinda rude I did have a real exposure I had unprotected sex so I guess everyone one who comes here with a real exposure is dramatic? Thanks for your time I won't be coming back to this site some of you are really rude on here

I'm not replying anymore.  I don't think anyone else will either.  You're just trying to be dramatic and look for sympathy and you're not going to get it.

You can't be helped more than you already have been.  Move on or seek professional mental help.  You need to stop being so dramatic

The only time oral sex will EVER be a risk is when the person giving the oral sex has large. gaping wounds in their mouth and the person receiving the oral sex has a skyrocketed viral high.  Like in the millions.  And even that is a theoretical risk.
