Aa
well here goes!!! Oraquick home test
I have an oraquick mouth swab test in front of me, my enounter was, less than 1 minute of unprotected vaginal sex with a VERY promiscuous girl. its 9 weeks post exposure and i have chronic back pain and hip and leg pain. what result should i expect because my mind is telling me its goiing to be positive..although there was no bleeding and i have no cuts on my penis
"The guy who helped me do this test slightly bumped into the kit while it was testing."
That's a typical anxiety driven "what if" question. The tests are designed to allow for a LARGE margin of error. You'd have to mess it up very very badly for the results not to be trustworthy.

The guy who helped me do this test slightly bumped into the kit while it was testing. Could this be a Faldo negative because of that
Your an amazing person thanks so much. Bless you. But I also have a node in my left groin area! And I feel weird!! Lol I'm sorry for talking ur head off
it makes me think about the future with my family and girlfriend and im only 19, i want to have kids and a good life,
You will have all of that, at least HIV is not going to be an issue keeping you from that!

Of course it's POSSIBLE that one could get infected after one sexual encounter but it's RARE. Also, with the brevity of your exposure, it puts your risk as close to zero as practically possible. Viral load isn't an issue, because again, the brevity of your encounter would not really allow for transmission to take place.
The "symptoms" you mention above are not at all consistent with TRUE ARS symptoms, not in the least. Stop reading the internet, go get tested so you can start realizing that you're not infected.

Hello, thanks for the encouragement! and theres a story on the interent where a man cheated on his wife ONCE with a woman he met online and caught HIV thats scary, and also ive had back pain for like two weeks straight that runs down my leg in sciatic nerve and now my left grown hurts but this didnt start till 7 or 8 weeks after
Why not just go to a clinic and get a rapid test done? You'll have the results in 30 minutes or so, and most likely be able to breathe a big sigh of relief. The chances of you getting HIV from a one minute heterosexual exposure are next to zero.
"chances of infection from any single exposure are much too low to worry about" A quote from a health professional!
Do the test just to stop worrying.... like I did!
