90th Day Finger Prick Test
I’m a man. I had unprotected vaginal and anal sex with a female of unknown status. Don’t know her so can’t have her tested. Will never do this again in my life. I'm not seventeen. I need to remember this.
By the grace of almighty, today I made it to the 90th day. I drove down to a HOV Outreach Prevention & Education (HOPE) – AACI location. They offered me 2 options, oral swab test and finger prick test. I reasoned that blood test must be better than mouth swab, so I picked the finger prick test. This test takes 20 minutes.
Result: Negative
Simply put,
1. Did I make the right decision by choosing the finger prick test?
2. Am I off the hook now?
3. Do I need to get me tested again in the future?

Ok Boss, I'm taking your word for it. You see, even after getting the negative test result, I asked you. I value an expert opinion.
I'm going back to normal life with unprotected sex with my wife of 37 years. God knows I treated her badly by being an astroasshole.

He meant depending on what type of bodily fluids (the 5 I mentioned above) infect a person the antibody develops. Blood HIV creates antibody faster, and vaginal fluid creates antibody the slowest. Is this true?
So, you are saying that I do not have to go to another clinic to draw a tube full of blood and send out to do the test that takes 2-3 days? Something like they do in the LabCorp.

There is only two types: HIV1 and HIV2
There are 4 groups: M,N,O and P.
You don't have HIV.

Oh God is real! God is true!
The person who did the test at the HOPE center told me the five bodily fluids transmit HIV: Vaginal, Precum, Semen, Blood, and Breast Milk. Infected Blood is the fastest to create antibody in the body, and vaginal fluid is the slowest.
Do I need to worry about this? Does 90th day testing capture everything, all five types, when it comes to creating enough antibody to be detected?
The person said, I will have to go back again after another 90 days
