Hiv testing

I had unprotected sex on 10/09/07 with a woman I meet at a conference.  Had every symptom imaginable.  Talked with her she said i was fine.  Started dating a girl.  I had my hiv ICMA test at 99 days post that exposure.  Trying to move on, but my girlfriend keeps my anxiety up.  She gets nauseous, she was throwing up this morning.  I am fatigued, change in stools, hands fall asleep, white tongue.  I know we say 3 months conclusive, but if I get tested again tomorrow it will be around five and half months post exposure. I just worry what if the test missed something, etc.  Should I get a rapid test done or another full blood test?

The only thing I can see is that he didn't say anything about the new girl if he tested together with her or even if he's having unprotected sex with her. He really doesn't give enough information.

I am confused  about the last post entered.  If 100907 had unprotected sex with his girlfriend during his window period (yes irresponsible)  but if he was negative at 99 days why should his girlfriend be tested as well as him again?  Can he be a carrier for HIV during his window period and infect smeone else even if he comes back negative at 99 days?  Can their symptoms just be the flu season, anxiety, or psychosymantic?

Teak, Unique or NB can someone shed light on this?

Not clear that ,,you started "dating" before 99 day test or after, if it was before that, you exhibited a very irresponsible behavior since you, yourself were within your window period and put your girl friend at risk,,, if it was after,,, then your conference mate was clear as 99 days test is conclusive,,, better check your existing girl friend and you two get yourself tested.
