Hi teak and thank you for answering.
I just want to clarify some questions I have if you can please answer...
1. Are my symtoms or girlfriends symtoms consostant with HIV?
2. Is a 47 day negative HIV test an indication I did not get HIV from my unprotected vaginal exposure?
3. Is oral sex and kissing with an open cut a risk ??
4. Is smoking a joint with some one HIV+ a risk ??
What do you think in detail. I am new here. First post an I know you get tons of questions a day but please help
As you already know a test at 3 months will be conclusive.
Please help me and ***** my risk. Please I cant think straight and I cant function, I am so stressed out. Please someone help me.
it does nothing, just wait til 3 months to get your conclusive result
I hope this helps copy from doctor quote in forum

I did a little searching and also got in touch with some colleagues doing research on speed of seroconversion, i.e. development of postive HIV antibody test in people with ARS. The test doesn't become positive as soon as I thought. Few have positive tests before 10 days; at 11-14 days it's about 40%, but by 17 days it's almost 100%. In other words, slow trend through 2 weeks, then almost everybody gets a positive test over the next 3 days.

you had risks so 3 month after last exposure would be conclusive
