Query about testing and risks
Hello,
I need some guidance regarding my test results. I am male 22 bisexual not so sexually active. I had a 2 exposures in a row first, unprotected brief vaginal with a girl i met in a bar, second oral sex on a male. These events happened a with a day's gap from each other. Started developing some symptom(slight fever and sore throat) 29 days after 2nd exposure) please note that these were before my hiv anxiety started so stress cant be the cause. I also got rash, itchy feeling sweating, red and dry eye but after i read about hiv so anxiety might be the cause not sure. I took a test at 41 days after exposure and another one at 66 days both negative hiv1/2. These tests were ab elisa.
What are my risks?
how conclusive are my tests?
Have u seen anybody 66 days negative later pos?
Do my negative tests cancel out symptoms which occured before them?
Your replies would be greatly valued

You have a point there. It may seem very odd but i m actually more concerned about oral than vaginal because the girl i had sex with is a friend's and i got to know her and she assured me shes negative(but i am still suspicious) and and also said she never practices unsafe sex nor is very sexually active but the guy who i gave blowjob to seemed very suspicious and never met me after that event.
PS have you ever seen someone with a negative around 9 or 8 weeks turning positive?

Oral is not a risk of transmitting HIV. Yes I have seen people test positive at 8 weeks.
I meant have seen people negative at 8 but pos at 3 months. And people who tested pos at 8 were they on chemo or iv drugs or transplant or any other immune ilness which delays seroconversion or not?
No they were not on chemo, or antirejection drugs nor were they IV drug user. As you were told your test is conclusive at 3 months. Not 6,8, 9 or 10 weeks.
Testvmight not be conclusive but one thing is for sure that the symptoms which i suffered from are not hiv ars because my last test was conducted 2 weeks after their onset right?
