unprotected oral sex, HIV negative 10 days before 6 month window
HI,
I am a 19 year old female and I had unprotected oral sex in January of this year, in which I swallowed. I took a rapid HIV test 10 days before the 6 month mark. At first I was relieved to hear the news. However, my anxiety came back. I now cannot stop wondering if I am one of the people with a weak immune system that won't develop antibodies within the 6 month period. I did have Influenza A and Mono within these 6 months, so I fear that it has weakened my immune system. Is it necessary to test again, or will my test be enough?

You Had No Risk, ofcourse your tests are negative. YOU DON'T HAVE HIV! If you had an immune disorder previously... you would have known already.
