HIV

Dear Expert
I had sex with a girl who is very vulnerable to HIV. After three months of sex i went through fever , headach and sweating at night. After six months of sex I tested Anti HIV Elisa, Anti HIV rapid test (Capillus Method), VDRL , gram stain etc. Every test shows negative result. But i am still worried. I may have HIV infection. Should I do Western Blot testing??? Please Suggest me.

Thx
Udasin.

the current guideline for a conclusive test result is 3 months post exposure.  you tested well beyond that time frame, proving that you were not infected with hiv.

further testing is not warranted.
