88 day test-need one last advice.. multiple testing!
Hello. I had unprotected vaginal sex with a sex worker thrice. Ejaculated once inside her. In short a high risk exposure. This incident occured before three months. Following which I had the following symptoms:
Fever that went overnight in the 3rd week.
Sore throat in the 5th week.
Swollen lymph node in one armpit in the 6th week.
Followed by brown spots on both my elbows in the 7th week and an apparently swollen lymph node in the groin coz one side appeared a little bigger.
Fever about 100.5 to 101 deg and a very severe sore throat which lasted for almost a week.
Felt something swollen under my chin in the 11th week and still do.
I took the following tests:
Rapid antibody test- 25 days- negative.
Hiv Duo Quick Test- 6 weeks- negative.
Rapid Antibody test- 9 weeks - Negative.
Hiv 1/2 antibody test (tri dot method) 3rd gen- Today (88 days) - negative.
So according to the experts I am safe now and can move on. Just want to know from the experts whether my test today was conclusive and can I seriously move on or not?
And to the worried wells.. If I am in the clear then please be rest assured that u too are. Coz as u can see I had every symptom stated in the book. Anxiety took the best of me. And I got really scared and made a mess of me. I learnt my mistake and am surely not gonna repeat it in future!

Your question is an anxiety-driven one, You already understand that 3 months is conclusive. You don't have HIV.
