hiv scare

hey doc,

i have read some of your posts online many forums.i had a sexual encounter back in i believe mid july.come to find out the guy i met up with had hiv he informed me later of .we had anal sex both giving and receiving for a very short time maybe 2 minute spurts.we both used condoms.we made out a lot and that was about it and also did oral sez.i went to the doctors on september 5th and got tested on september 25 by a blood tube sample. my doctor called and said the std hiv test came back negative but she still wants me to come back in 6 months because of the window period.Should i be worried and is that enough time to come up with a result.im really worried because it was approximately my minimum guess i got tested at 50-60 days after exposure. i went to the doctor and she said to not read things on the internet. i have had no signs beside maybe a cough this week with a lot of phlem and congestion.thanks for your time.

So the part of giving each other head and making g out shows no value worth transmitting?

You didn't even have an exposure worth testing over.

You had protected sex and thus, no risk...i.e no need to test.

What about the making out of saliva and oral sex ? So should my test results be conclusive

If you had a real risk then no...your test results are not accurate...but since you had no risk then your test results are of no concern since you did not need to test in the first place.
You each engaged in receptive and penetrative anal sex with condoms. The condoms did not break. There is no way transmission could have occurred.

Just to be clear....."finishing" has no bearing on HIV transmission.
Any unprotected exposure constitutes a risk. Use condoms any and every time. Ejaculation increases the risk for sure but even without, the risk is real!
It looks like you got away this time. Use condoms each and every time!

Are my test results accurate the individual is HIV positive and wanted to let me know but said he's almost certain I didn't get it because he didn't finish in me

Condoms did not break when we were ready to :
"Finish", we did on each others stomachs and cleaned up

So you used condoms for anal sex and they did not break.
Discussing test results is an exercise in futility as you had no risk.

Yes and I saw him cum . Not sure of exact date when we had exposure but my guess is around mid July  I know it was at least 45-50 days after I got tested how accurate is that

You used condoms & your doctor is wrong--the HIV window period is 3 months not 6 months.

You had anal sex?...with condom?...it remained intact?...

If can answer yes to all three questions then

you do not have an HIV risk  concern and you don't need testing.
