HIV test thankfully negative, need to worry anymore?

Summary of my situation:
On October 2nd I made a drunken mistake and met a CSW.

I was freaked out since then. Went to get a full panel test 26 days after.
Got my results back 2 weeks later and they are all negative/non reactive.

HIV test was HIV 1/2 Antigen/Antibody 4TH Gen.


Am I safe to say I'm in the clear? My doctor said HIV antibodies could take up to 8 months to show up.
How accurate is it?


Thanks
p.s.: special thanks to auntiejessie for your her kind pov and words of support

Thank you GuitarRox. Certainly, anxiety is one hell of a plague.

Since I was mostly drunk, I couldn't remember how the whole deal went down, but I want to think it was all protected.

However, it's time to move on.

In looking at your previous post to remember what your exposure was, it was protected sex, correct? We told you then that this is not a risk for HIV. Any test you took at any time would be negative in that case. WE aren't surprised you are 'clear' from the test you took and am sorry that your anxiety makes YOU surprised as it was one hundred percent predictable and expected. In other words, you never needed to test because you had no risk of getting hiv.

If your anxiety continues to plague you, get help with it. It has to be hard to worry so much over things and we are telling you clearly, that you will not get hiv from protected sex. Ever.
