Suspicious contact and following tests
Hi Doctors
I had a suspicious contact on 13 August and in next 2-3 weeks I experienced some bad symptoms (lympho nodes, throat pain etc.). Being pretty anxious, in next 9.5 weeks (exactly, 66 days) I have passed through dozen tests (rapid, 3rd gen and 4 gen) - all are negat.
Amongst others, I've been checked 4 times by Abbott Arcitect Ag/Ab on 17, 51, 58 and 66 days. All are negat.
1st quest: Is this all pretty enough for being sure I am not infected?
2nd quest: during my contact I had unprotected (BJ by woman) oral sex and protected vaginal sex, when I noticed her blood on the unprotected part of my penis. My skin looked without any cuts or sores, however 3 hours before sex I shaved the hair around my penis and probably, some microcuts occured on the skin. But they were not noticeable by eyes.
Is it sufficient gate for virus?
Thank you.

You had PROTECTED vaginal sex and the condom did not break. You had NO RISK for HIV and did not need to test.
The tiny "micro cuts" from shaving your pubic area are also NO RISK.....even if some of her blood or vaginal fluids came into contact with these "cuts," that is not how HIV is transmitted.
Your HIV tests, which you did NOT need to take, are definitely indicative of your negative status.......because you never had a risk. For your peace of mind, test again at 12 weeks and that test will be 100% conclusive.
You had unprotected oral and that IS a risk for other types of STI's.
I would urge you to have a full STD panel done at the appropriate times.

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
