indeterminate, scared

i had unprotected sex, oral and vaginal with a friend on July 26 while drunk. He and I had sex also in May. My boyfriend started having pains in scrotum a few weeks after the July 26 incident so I freaked out and went and had all STD test ran. Around Aug 28 my doctors office called and said all test came back negative except HIV was indeterminate. When I asked nurse what this ment she said "I dont know, Doc wants you to return in 4 weeks to retest" needless to say I googled the hell out of it and since have thought I had every symptom. I called my friend and told him what doc said, he said he was positive that he did not have HIV and took a home Oraquick test on Sept 5, came back negative. I took Oraquick on Sept 5, negative. I again took an Oraquick home test on Sept 23, negative, Oct 3 and 8 negaative. Needless to say I am scared beyond belief and having very hard time focusing on anything but this and so scared to get the bloodtest redone cause afraid of result. Friend insist the test was faulty and im freaking over nothing. This has been a horrid few months, lost my siste to suicide in June, Indeterminate in Aug, BF diagnosed with cancer in Sept and he moved out in Sept also. Guess I'm looking for a bit of comfort, I may not deserve it after my July indiscretion but the torture I have put myself through since has been torrid... Please Help!

The window period for an hiv test is 3 months after your last exposure (except for a duo test which is 4 weeks nut still you will been to confirm for a conclusive result 3 months after your last exposure)

I believe that your latest test result proves that you are negative. You must confirm though this at exactly 3 months after your last exposure in order to have a conclusive result. Try to keep calm in the meantime
