Exposed and Worried

[quaestor]

Hi guys, need your help, I had high exposure on 3 April with an infected partner and immediately started PEP with in 24hours.But on week 4 I started to have slight burning sensation on urinating and the urine was smelling as well and thought it was UTI, I was given Cipro 500g and as soon I started it, I started to have a sore throat,the sore throat was not that much severe but it caused my neck to be tense and even developed swollen glands in the neck under the chin. Now I have finished the Cipro and the burning sensation has gone but I still have a sore throat although not very severe, it clears in the night and starts during the midmorning  till sunset,in the night it clears off and I don’t have any difficulties in swallowing anything. now its been more than 2 weeks with the sore throat and I have also extended my PEP was supposed to end at day 28 but im still taking it and planning to stop it tomrw day 45.Besides the above mentioned things I don’t have any other problems that I know,no rush and didn’t have any fever.

My question is could this point to HIV infection and what are my chances that I might not be infected?

so does it mean if not approved,their results/outcome can not be somthing to go by?as i was told they are used to detect virus in the body and wat will their negative out mean?

You took an unaproved test. PCR-DNA tests are not diagnostic tests for HIV.

Mate i didnt get you conclusion on it

PCR-DNA Tests
Neither the Abbott RealTime nor the Roche COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan HIV-1 assay is intended to be used as a donor screening test for HIV-1 or as a diagnostic test to confirm the presence of HIV-1 infection.

I know i might have wasted time and money in doing that but can you assist on the main question i asked at first about the symptoms i had and chances of exposure?
i forgot to mention that i was done a DNA PCR test at 14 days after exposure and was negative and another anti body test at day 20 and was negative as well,but this was before i had sore throat and other items as mentioned above

Can u assist

You've waisted your time and money. If 28 days wasn't enough then you would test positive no matter how much you take.

Well, after being exposed i continue to stay with the same girl who exposed me but with no sex and didnt trust her after that,i always had a feeling that she might expose me again so when i move out i wanted to have another fresh 28 days away from her where i will be sure nothing she might do,i was afraid of being re exposed by her again,thats the main reason why i prolonged it,but can this have any negative impact on how i feel at the moment?

Why would you take it upon yourself to take nPEP longer than 28 days?
