Stressing!

Doctor, I've had negative HIV test at 2,6.5 and 8.2 weeks, one was blood test, finger prick and oral swab. Can I rest easy with this result? A week and a half after my last test, I got a ulcer on my tonsil, is this the start of HIV? For 12 days prior to the ulcer I was on strong antibiotics for prostate infection, could that have been the cause?

Thanks

Had to go to doctors, he conducted rapid blood test while I was there at 10.3 weeks, negative, he said no further testing was needed

I just get freaked out because after I read HIV symptoms I starred to get the symptoms, right now I'm finishing up a course of antibiotics, I got a cold sore on my tonsil, I got a bad sunburn that doesn't seem to be going away. Everything that happens to me I always associate with HIV, it's probably all the stress I'm putting on myself!

your test at 8.2 weeks is unlikely to change but 3 months is conclusive.

what was your exposure?
