HIV negative after 5 weeks okay?

[completely convinced]

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!!!!

The majority of people will have a positive antibody test 5 weeks after the last exposure. You had a very low risk ordeal that I would not stress over. HIV transmission through oral sex is so rare, it's essentialy non-existant. Symptoms never mean infection, only a positive test does. I thought I had swollen nodes and all that and went on to test negative at 3 months, after a high risk possible exposure, in a higher risk country. If you remain worried, have a test at 3 months I would bet money that it will be negative.
