Magic_jay!! You never had a risk. You should have started with that. Oral sex is NOT a risk for HIV. Only vaginal or anal intercourse or sharing of IV drug needles. Oral sex has never resulted in a single documented case of HIV. Saliva and air inactivate the virus. So, your situation just drastically changed--- you never needed to test in the first place. All tests you take will be negative from an oral sex exposure an you should move on with your life.

You know boss I got tested like 3,4,5,6 weeks oraquick swab all negative 7th weeks 4th generation test negative and 8 weeks oraquick negative and 9 weeks again oraquick negative. Thank you very much you help me. I will never go massage parlor. In my life first time I went and get so much trouble and anxity. So last time I don’t need anymore test.
Are you 100% sure I don’t need more testing. I just only received unprotected oral sex nothing else.even I didn’t touch her.
You had no risk and any HIV test was a waste of time. It is abnormal to test repeatedly for the same negative result, so any more testing indicates HIv phobia for which you need therapy.
HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.
Only adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Your situation is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so there is no detail that you can add that will make any of your encounter a risk for HIV. No one in 40 years of HIV history got HIV from the situation you are concerned about so it is unlikely that it will happen in the next 40 of your lifetime either.

What I am saying is that you have an autoimmune disorder, ulcerative colitis. It is unlikely but the medications you take for that (you say 4 of them) could theoretically cause your test to not be reliable. You should talk to your doctor about how the medications you take impact HIV testing. They may say you are fine and should move on. But because my understanding is that very rarely, an HIV test could be impacted, I'm not saying you are conclusive. Because I don't know. You probably ARE. But that's all I can really add and for further information, I'd talk to YOUR doctor. Even the doctor that treats the colitis.

Medication for ulcerative colitis if taken in large amounts could theoretically give a false positive or negative. You need to speak to your doctor about that. You can take a DNA PCR test. You should be working with your doctor if you had a true risk (as most written about here are not true risks --- only risk is unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse or sharing of IV drug needles) since you have the autoimmune issue of ulcerative colitis. Most likely it would not affect your test but I can't rule that out for you. So, you need to work with your doctor.

I have 4th generation after 7 weeks negative test and 8 weeks and 9 weeks oraquick negative. Should I do more test
A 4th generation test is accurate 28 days after the last exposure, so you can trust your result. Whatever is causing your problem, is not HIV.
All the best.
