Finally I had all the information on the guy I had a risky encounter with.
Here what he has told me after all:
On September 10th he performed oral sex on a man who ejaculated in his mouth (he told me he had a tooth problem at that time) --> on September 22nd he tested negative after taking a 4th gen ELISA --> on October 25th he got ill (sore throat, high fever, enlarged cervical lymphonodes, muscles pain, etc which lasted about 10 days --> on October 28th (while he was on this ARS period) he tested 4th gen ELISA INDETERMINATE and NEGATIVE WESTERN BLOT --> on November 21st he tested 4th gen ELISA POSITIVE and WESTERN BLOT POSITIVE.
Doctor, I am a biology researcher myself at a important university here in Brazil, so that's why I am so interested in such details.
My questions are:1) does all this scene (seroconversion) make sense to you? I mean, wouldn't be odd to have a indeterminate 4th generation ELISA and a negative Western Blot at 6 weeks and 6 days after infection? Shouldn't he have already seroconverted by then? 2) If receiving cum was his only risk, would that make any difference regarding seroconversion time, I mean, would it be different if he had received cum in his rectum? 3) Indeed, I am psychologically ill as you can see - that is due to my job, I am a researcher and this guy's story seems to be a bit different from what I have read and heard.
I am so sorry about bothering you. I will not upset you with my story anymore.
Best reagards! Your opinion means a lot to me.

But if oral is zero risk how this guy got it. It means I also need to test for receiving oral.
