Need help

I'm a heterosexual male, 32years of age. I recently made dumb decision of having sex outside my relationship with a woman (a prostitute) on a trip to Italy. She said she was from Sub-saharan Africa. She gave me a blowjob without a condom, I fingered her, then had vaginal without a condom for a few seconds like 5-6 then put on a condom. The place was dark and I couldn't see if she was having any mouth sores/ulcers of any kind. The whole thing lasted about 10mins. I stupidly used the same hand that I fingered her vagina with to rob the tip of my penis. A fews days later before I left Italy I tried contacting her for another sexual act but her number wasn't going through so I went to the place where I first met her to find out what was going on, I was told by one of her friends that she got into trouble for possession of illicit drugs. Few weeks later my friend whom I visited called to tell me that she was HIV+ and not on meds. I asked him how finds out and he told me that the guy she stays with died lately of aids who was also an IV drug user.  So the panic begin. I don't wanna get into symptoms as I had all of them and still have some.

So I tested negative with Oraquick at 9weeks, 10weeks, 12weeks & 14weeks.

1.How good is my test?
2.Do I need further testing?
3.Is Home Access a good test?

Thank you Iwan,

I haven't been having unprotected sex with my fiance as I don't wanna put her at risk. Is it safe to resume to unprotected sex? What do you know about the Home Access test hiv1? I just sent my blood sample yesterday and should be expecting the result anytime from now.

You were at risk due to the unprotected element and as she has HIV then testing is recommended. However your tests are conclusive at the 12 and 14 week stage. If you are still concerned a rapid blood test will provide you with further reassurance however you do not have HIV. Next time use a condom for vaginal sex as even a few seconds is a risk.

NOTE: The ORAQUICK was the at home version though I can't remember it wrong.
