4th Generation test at 29 days

[Fromflorida]

Hey guys! I had a exposure to HIV and developed symptoms afterwards. I waited a month to test and got the 4th Generation test from lab corp done at 29 days after exposure. The results came back negative. I've read that at one month results are anywhere from 95%-99% accurate. Is this true?
Also, I have been a binge drinker for a long time and since exposure I started drinking heavily. I read that alcohol abuse doesnt affect antibody testing. But can alcohol abuse affect the creation of HIV antigens? Is it possible that drinking a lot causes my body to not create efficient amounts of HIV antigens in a month so the 4th Generation tests doesn't pick it up? (Before antibodies are created). Any input and/or sources would be appreciated! Thanks

I want to believe so bad that I had no exposure. But with all these symptoms it just makes it hard to accept.. swollen lymph nodes, sore throat, headache, rash, and horrible joint pains.
And not knowing 100% if the guy had a cut on his finger or any of his blood touching my cut drives me crazy.

You have all of these symptoms, and you are attributing them to the ONE thing that cannot be the cause of these symptoms? That makes no sense.  Go to a doctor and find out the cause of your non-HIV related symptoms.  You could have something medically wrong with you, but it isn't HIV.

I reviewed your risk in your previous post, and I agree with everyone who responded - you had no risk and you had no need to test.  Alcohol does not affect the immune system's creation of antigens or antibodies.
