the ONLY exposure you had was the first one, on june 15th, 2012. your test at 94 days post that exposure PROVES that you don't have hiv.
as teak explained...you dont need further testing and your test is conclusive
You don't need any further testing. You have a conclusive test result.
Your Elisa test 72 days from exposure (ideally should not change) is more or less conslusive.
Western blot test is a confirmatory test made once an individuals results are found to be positive on Elisa (or an antibody test)
Seroconversion is delayed only in case of IV drug users, in case an individual has had an organ transplant, if one is in therapy for cancer treatment (chemo therapy).
As per CDC, the latest guidelines, 3 months is the window period. (6 months as per the old CDC guidelines)
You can test once at 90 days (3 months and above) and get a conclusive result.
As far as your symptoms are concerned, you cannot assume that they are HIV related.
Suggestion: Take an antibody test at 90 days and get a conclusive test.
