Can I completely rule out HIV with 13.5 Week Negative test?

Hello all...

I have posted before on here so please bare with me.

I have had 4 negative HIV tests in the following order after possible exposure on October 2nd:
Oct 9 Elisa - 1 week Neg
Dec 4 Elisa - 9 Week Neg
Dec 9 PCR - 9.5 Week Neg
Jan 6 Elisa - 13.5 Week Neg

Regardless of my symptoms, can I 100% rule out HIV and move on?  I plan on going back in April for my 6 month.

I have since been disgnosed with Celiac Disease which I never had any symptoms until my exposure.  Stress and guilt were the obvious trigger to my symptoms here.

Before you call me crazy, I have had a swollen lymph node in the left side of my neck that went away after a few days about a month ago.  Just this week I began having pain in the node under my jawbone on the left side.  It is still tender, but if it is swollen I cannot tell.

Are HIV related lymph swellings isolated?

The reason I am scared is that my exposure was with 2 street walkers (high risk and very stupid - lesson learned).  3 minutes maximum unprotected oral by both (so 6-10 minutes total) & protected anal given to 1. I have been a healthy person until all this happened.

Thoughts?

So I can 100% rule out HIV?  Also, that my tests, regardless of my Autoimmune Disease are conclusive and I do not have HIV?

I will go for my 6 month for peace of mind, but before I do, I really want to thank you for your help, advice and patience.

No it would not affect your test results and again you did not have a risk and your test goes to show that fact.

Hey Teak,

Thanks for your reply.

Right after my exposure, I developed gastrointestinal symptoms and was diagnosed with Celiac Disease.  

Would my autoimmune diesease have effected my tests?  Even at 13.5 weeks?

Thanks again
