HIV test question

Hi
I am a 23 old male who recently had a experience with another male anal I was the receiver and protection was used he also licked my anus and fingered it and preformed oral on my penis and testicales I also did oral on him just for a few seconds. My biggest concern is he has had gay experiences before and this being my first I am worried I have HIV I have no symptoms except my tonsils swole up a month later I have had multiple test done all the way up to the three month window four anti bodies and one HIV DNA rt by PCR at 70 days all were negative and I am going in on the actual 3 month date in about a week to test again using a ab and I was reading a lot about HIV since the experience I am very stressed and I seem to think I have a symptom every day my question is how accurate is the HIV DNA by PCR test at 70 days and should I be worried if it was only one experience protected?

You had protected anal sex and oral sex isn't a risk.

Monitoring and diagnostic have nothing to do with each other. Now move along you don't have an HIV concern.

I call bs on that I've read from md reports that pcr is one of the best ways to not diagnos but too monitor HIV so if it can monitor it then it should be able to detect if infected

It isn't. Reason why they are not used for diagnostic use.

You never had an exposure and had you had an exposure the PCR-DNA tests are not approved diagnostic tests.
