weakly reactive rapid test

Hello,
Some of you might remember me from 6 months ago, my exposure was with csw and negative tests out to 6 months, at the end I was still not convinced that i am hiv free. Last month I got drunk with my frnds and told them about it they took me back there and I did the same mistake again. After 11 days I got flu like symptoms with diarrhea and a few pink spots on my stomach. Next day I ordered a PCR from labcorp which I am still waiting on... They have not sent a result yet! So I went out and got a rapid test and it showed a weakly reactive result... twice! They took my blood sample for western blot.... any suggestions? My exposure was full massage and protected oral/vaginal but I had 2/3 sores diagnosed as folliculitis by a dermatologist. Thanks...

You ever hear of false positives. You didn't have a risk. I hope you don't think you are going to do like you did on here the first time and like you did on AidsMeds. It's not going to happen.

I ordered a test from request a test and went to labcorp PSC and they collected my blood for PCR test. I have not heard back from them yet.

In the mean time today, since it had been 12 days since onset of fever I decided to get rapid antibody test. It was clearview statpak that came back with a weak line, the counselor repeated the test and it was the same so she collected my blood for WB.
