HIV Risk in 5 encounters
Hi experts,
I had 5 encounters with a sex worker since last 2 months. Recent 2 encounters i had on November 25th and October 15th. 2 out of my 5 encounters I was so drunk and did not even know if i penetrated chances are that i penetrated (no protection involved) during both encounters. Rest of the encounters I did not do that (those three encounters included unprotected oral sex giving and receiving). I asked the sex worker and she said she was also drunk she does not remember.
I have been sick for 2 months now. I have very scratchy and itchy sensation in throat with every breath I take. this seems to be improving since I am seeing the docotor for the last 1 month. They gave me first 3 dozes of Arzithromycin 500 mg and now 875 amoxicilin for 7 days I am completing 7 days now. Well this cough and soar thraot seems be improving lets say 40 percent but I still have coughing fits. During these two or 1.5 months I have on and off soar throat and this coughing which is not leaving me alone and I also have fever on and off.
what are my chances that I contracted HIV and now I am sero converting? I am planning to do a full panel STD tests in January second week.
I am ready to take any news and results from the test since I am so tired with this coughing
should I take test at 43 days mark? 9th january will be 45 days.
thanks in advance

An update guys, so i visited a testing center yesterday since my last encounter 50 days mark.
I visited a testing center and explained them everything they said no need to draw blook from the arm they rather performed the needle stick on my finger and tested a quick test results came in after 20 minutes.
I have asked the testing crew is it 4th Gen and the answer was yes it is AG/AB test. my question is that my results are conclusive?
can someone please answer?
regards

@cerfewX?
I already told you TWICE your test would be conclusive by 28 days or more. I'm not going to keep reassuring you.

Just take the test at the scheduled time, at 43 days from your last event. The odds can't be calculated because you don't even remember what happened. Only an HIV test can determine your HIV status,, so your other test is irrelevant to the detection of HIV.

The other test was just to see the blood picture why am i coughing is there a viral or bectarial infection this can be calculated by CRP i general which was high
But which test P24 antigen?
You can take a 4th generation test, which checks for antigens and antibodies, any time 28 days or more after your last exposure.
Forgot to mention that when i was seeing doctor in last 1 month they did general blood test and my "C-Reactive Protein (CRP)" was higher than 8 even when I was taking antibioatics heavily
