HIV Negative? Worried

[Dig412]

Hello,
Six months ago I had an unprotected one night stand with a woman of unknown HIV status, it only lasted for about 30 seconds before I stopped it. I am a heterosexual non drug using male. I had a blood prick HIV test come back negative at 5 and a half weeks, and two oraquick tests come back negative at 9 weeks and 12 weeks. I have IBD which is an auto immune disease. Everything I read says that a negative test at 12 weeks is conclusive, however I have also read things that say an auto immune disease can delay seroconversion, causing a false negative at 12 weeks. Can someone clear the air? Am I HIV negative? within those 12 weeks I was also diagnosed with mono and have had a swollen lymph node on my neck for six months (not sure if this is relevant)

Thanks and god bless.

Why do I read so much that a test at 12 weeks is conclusive then?

Look, You had a risk and per guideline you have tested -ve with ora quick.  Meanwhile you had mono which got detected and you probably have got treatment for it too...

Have you had any symptoms ? Have you just asked her about her status ?

If it's being 6 month, I would just get single 4th GEN Ab/Ag and put this behind... Personally, I have read a numerous stories that saliva tests are not that accurate and has chance for false negatives....

Oral tests are not saliva tests, they use a fluid called oral mucosal transudate, which is taken from the cheeks and gums. Anyways, as advised, your 12 week negative result is conclusive.

CDC states that 98% of the people seroconverted at 12 weeks. I think there's a difference between auto immune disease vs immunosupressive.
