Negative at 20 weeks
Hi guys, I posted on here a while back about having sex with a csw in Mexico and the condom possibly breaking. I had an Orasure rapid test at 29 days and just got my results back from a blood test that was taken at 20 weeks and 4 days post exposure. Both came back negative. As this most recent test was nearly 5 months after the encounter, would you say that no further testing is needed? I know some sites say 6 months is needed but from what I have heard, everyone on here seems to say 3 months is conclusive. Also, does it matter that my test was just an antibody test and not an antigen test?
