Help pls
1. ) I had a high exposure ( insertive unprotected vaginal sex ) to a Chinese and african for a same day in Abu dhabi and I tested negative for an HIV Ag/ab after 9 weeks and 7 months. Is that conclusive?
2. ) My biggest worry now is missing an undetectable rare strain from Asia or Africa as per your thread ( http://www.medhelp.org/posts/HIV---Prevention/worried-/show/1593452 ). Would the p24 of my test is late for detection after 9 weeks and I might miss an undetectable strain from Asia or Africa?
3. ) Am I correct that if I had both or 1 of these undetectable strains from Asia or Africa my HIV ag/ab test would be equivocal and for further test? This is according to Dr. Hook ( http://www.medhelp.org/posts/HIV---Prevention/Final-Assurance/show/1589965 )
4. ) Do I need to do PCR test or other test?
5. ) Will my test miss some strain?According to this link duo test may miss something ( http://www.medhelp.org/posts/HIV---Prevention/risk-assesment/show/1467232 )
6. ) Is my negative HIV ag/ab test 100% conclusive after 9 weeks and 7 months of my exposure for All strains of both HIV 1 and 2?
7. ) Can I have unprotected vaginal/anal/oral sex with my wife and not worry of infecting her with HIV?

you do NOT have a hiv concern.
accept your negative status and move on with your life.
USE CONDOMS ! ! ! sex lasts a few minutes...HIV LASTS A LIFETIME

Ok teak my concern is about undetectable rare strains mentioned in the link provided.
Did you read what it said? "Persons at high risk who initially test negative should be retested 3 months after exposure to confirm results " you had a negative test at 7 months.
Is that referring to the antibody test? So What do you think teak i dont need further testing?

In an adult, a positive HIV antibody test result means that the person is infected, a person with a negative or inconclusive result may be in the “window for 4 to 6 weeks but occasionally up to 3 months after HIV exposure. Persons at high risk who initially test negative should be retested 3 months after exposure to confirm results
