Can I move on? Unprotected sex

Hi docs,

I need some advice for testing for any STI and move on with my life:
I had unprotected sex with an unknown lady three and a half months ago. Since then I have been to worried and haven´t had sex with anybody until be sure of being clean of infections from that situation. It was only unprotected expose for about 3 minutes and I didn´t cum.

I have tested since then:
ELISA 3rd Gen: 3 weeks - NEGATIVE
Syphilis, chlamydia, HPV, ghonorrea, herpes, bacterias: 3 weeks - NEGATIVE
Rapid Test (I´m not sure what was it): 7 1/2 weeks - NEGATIVE
Uni-Gold Recombigen: 9 1/2 weeks - NEGATIVE
Hep B, Hep C, Syphilis: 9 1/2 weeks - NEGATIVE
Uni-Gold Recombigen: 12 1/2 weeks - NEGATIVE

I know at this moment that I´m free of HIV with my last conclusive test after 12 weeks!!!

1. Do you consider I have to test again for some specific infection?
2. If positive the question above, How much time do I have to wait to be completely sure I´m free of STIs?
3. In your opinion, do you consider that the rapid test for HIV at 12 weeks is definitive and conclusive?

Thank you.

hey there to tell you truth 12 months are old stories now most of doctors here also tell that 8 weeks is enough for you to declare that you are out of window period so i think you are ok with most but some of them for 3 weeks you must take them to 8 weeks for another test but if you still concerned about 8 weeks is not enough you can have a test at 12 weeks this will be surely enough for you.

whether or not you ejaculate has nothing to do with std risk.

herpes testing needs to be done 3 months post encounter. It appears you had it done 3 weeks post encounter?  

all hiv related questions need to be asked on the hiv forum.
