This does not matter, EVEN if they had HIV you DO NOT and your tests prove it.

i forgot to tell u that both the girl i was exposed to did hiv 1/2 antibody test 4 and 16 weeks after our first and last unprotected sex,and it was negative.my worry is that she was out of a relationship three months before we hook up and  she started going out with different men and she might have being infected within this period and the antibody is not yet produced.though she try to convince me that she is clean,but what about my symptoms i had 2 wks after sex with her.something is wrong some were.thanks
