HIV tests
I'm a man who had unprotected oral sex with a woman who I believe does not have any STDs, but I'm not sure. I was tested for HIV (antigen, antibodies and DNA tests for 1 and 2) at 2.5 weeks and 4.5 weeks and then had another test for antibodies at 6 weeks. All were negative. At this point with the testing and the fact it was oral sex, should I worry further?
Any thoughts on pcr DNA test?
Sorry meant ? Not !
Even with the pcr DNA tests!
according to the guidlines...anyone who had a risk for contracting hiv should test 3 months post exposure for a conclusive result.
Still curious to know whether the tests would be conclusive
if you "understood"...then you would understand that you had NO risk and did not require testing.
Understood but what about the conclusiveness of the tests I have had done so far?
You never had an exposure and didn't need testing.
HIV can infect anybody and you should exercise caution by wearing condom appropriately when it comes to unprotected vaginal/anal sex with a non-committed partner.
But oral sex doesn't pose HIV risk, so you don't need an HIV test.

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
