ICMA TEST

I had a one time unprotected sexual encounter with a low risk/no risk female.  I took an HIV/STD  test (ICMA) with labcorp after 3 1/2 months and everything was negative.  I know that there is a window for HIV, but given the negative results for STD can I quit worrying about the HIV and the "window" remaining?

I know I am one question away from getting booted off the site, but I came across your resume and thought I would seek your thoughts.

Thank you!
