assurance about azithromycin Metrodinazol and HIV test

Hi Doc,
I dont know if you remember me but I wrote to you about my incident at my China trip about two weeks ago.
I tested for Hepatitis B&C, PCR(for syphiis), HTLV and HIV about 10 days ago, It all came back negative which was about 13 weeks(88-89days) after the possible exposure which you described as highly safe exposure. (licking on clitoris for few seconds in 2 separate occasions)
Anyhow, maybe I'm being too paranoid but I was just wondering if me taking
3 tablets of azithromycin at one time & Metrodinazol 500mg (3 times a day for 3 days) couple of weeks (2 1/2 weeks) prior to the testing has anything to do with delay of anbody development for HIV or with the test result.  I also took some benedryl and air-borne.  Do any medication have effect on these tests?  Also I was wondering what they look for in PCR testing(HIV?)?
Am I home free and live now or more testing?
Thank you so much

Those medications do not affect the results or reliability of HIV testing, or of tests for other STDs.  A 13 week negative HIV test is 100% assurance against infection, no matter what.  (It was 100% sure you didn't get infected from that exposure, even if you weren't tested. If your result had been positive, I would be 100% convinced you were infected some other time, not from performing cunnilingus in China or anywhere else.

Re your follow up question below, I don't know the cause of your uncomfortable urination, but it's not an STD.  Maybe anxiety.

Max 2 new threads for each person every 6 months on the STD forum.  No more, please.

Good luck-- HHH, MD

YOU CANNOT HAVE ANY STD FROM THE EXPOSURE YOU DESCRIBE.  YOU CANNOT TRANSMIT ANYTHING TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND. ANY FURTHER POSTS WILL GET YOU BANNED FROM ANY FURTHER ACTIVITY ON THIS FORUM.

I am so so sorry to ask one more question but I was wondering if I could possibly have NGU since I had my penis on top of her vagina for a while(not sure about the fluid)  Would the medicines I've taken cleared it up or any of the test have detected it?  Should I be tested for it or can I just let it go?  What are consequences if left untreaed?
Thanks and sorry about another question.

Any chance I might have gotten Chlymedia and cleared up because of the medication? Absolutely last one. I am worried for my girl friend. I keep forgetting to ask questions.
I am soo sorry.
