HIV negative after 5 weeks okay?

Hello there,
My situation is as follows.  I was involved in a low risk activity with a somebody that is HIV+  I had given oral on a man with exposure to precum.  Now, I rinsed my mouth out afterwards with water but still freaked out.  This happened a year ago.  I took a test at 4 weeks 6 days post exposure and tested negative.  I live in Canada (Ontario) so I don't know what generation ELISA they use, pretty sure it was a 2nd generation.  Anyhow, I now have been diagnosed with colitis, numerous colds, swollen lymphnodes, yeast infections and a soar throat that I have had for months.  I am soooooooo convinced that I was infected with HIV.  My question is, would my test should detectable antibodies at 5 weeks?  I'm really freaking out here!!!!

looks like you LUCKED OUT...this time.

until you are in a monogamous relationship where both of you have tested...ALWAYS use a condom.   sex lasts a few minutes...HIV LASTS A LIFETIME ! ! ! ! !

If you had a negative HIV antibody test @ 86 days post expsoure then you are negative 100%.

84 days = 12 weeks = three months.

Hello,

I had unprotected anal sex.(I was the giver) I had negative vein (blood) anti-body tests at 27 days, 62 days, and 86 days. Should I be confident that this is conclusive. I keep hearing about 12/13 weeks or 84/90 days. Any help from anybody would be great.
