Back once again with some questions, Thanks for you patience

Sorry Docs for coming again in such a short period of time, but my anxiety is killing me and my anti anxiety pills are doing nothing. you deleted my previous thread, which i totally understand.

Since my last expsoure Low Risk as per your assesment (possible condom failure with a CSW in Kuwait), and my 7 weeks negative antibody test, I need some reassurance for the below purposes:

Since I might be in my window period if Infected am scared about my GF since we indulged in the below activities:

2 Times protected Sex,got down on her briefly and externally
2 Times masterbation,my fingers inside her
She used my tooth brush couple of times
she got scratched by my cat, and i kissed her on the scartch after 3 mins.

3 weeks after she developed a rash on her arms very itchy and she had a headache for couple of days, and that made me panic, and am loosing sleep over this. I have leveled with her regarding my exposure, and she knows about my test results, and she is saying that am too paranoid.

if i was infected, i would be very contagious, and am scared that i could have transmitted something to her. is any of the activities above a risk of transmission in the window period if infected. i want to retest, but here in Kuwait am scared because if i test positive i will be deported, hence i need to wait to go back to my home country. The test i did in Lebanon was negative, and am not sure which generation it is, and whats keeping me worried is this tingling and wierd feeling in my armpits, i cant tell if its pain or not, but its there. I know symptoms mean nothing, buti keep reading about armpits,and stuff in the mouth. if my ulcer on the tongue 2 weeks aftr exposure i would have tested positive on the 7 weeks test right?. i checked with dr.s who are saying that my test is conclusive GP and Urologist and i need no testing, pls tell me i did not infect my GF,

This is your silliest question yet.  No risk- You do not have HIV.  I will not accept further anxiety-driven questions.  

Furthermore, I would add that you have now asked your two questions.  No further questions will be accepted on this or the STD Forum until February 2010.  EWH

One last question, you did not answer me about the Tooth brush usage, is it a way to transmit HIV, she used it before i did, and last time i used it was a day before. Just in case i need to know, because her rash worried me

Why do you persist in worrying??  Yes it will be sensitive.  You can test with confidence.  EWH

Thanks Doc, your are really helpful,

if my test was a 2nd Gen test which i doubt, it should be 3rd Gen, will it still be sensitive to detect antibodies at 7 weeks?

Do you believe i can go test confidently here in Kuwait, maybe 11 weeks the result will help me cope better with my anxiety?

Thank you very much for your patience, I really appreciate your time

You are not in the window period and have nothing to worry about.  Your problem is not with HIV, it is with anxiety which I suspect is in need of professional help since you have proven unable to deal with your concerns yourself or with the assistance on multiple MedHelp Forums and communities.  As far as the activities you describe, even if you were infected which, I am confident, is not the case,:

1.  Protected sex, virtually no risk.
2.  Masturbation -no risk
3.  Kissing a scratch, no risk,

Your test is conclusive and you do not need further testing.  EWH
