Reliability my test

I was only able to wait 7 weeks and a few days to take an HIV test due to paranoia, stress and depression. My tests came back fine but Is that long enough for me to rest easy...or should I keep putting myself through torture?

Hmm...the not willing to discuss your risk part sound very familiar......

I personally would not test further.

no, not exactly...I don't like talking about it but I know that OTHER fluids were not exchanged at all during the ..umm..events that unfolded. It was brief unwanted and scary

So you are saying oral sex was your risk? You didn't have a risk.

Hi there,

The chances for your 7th week result to change is remote.

If I read correctly, your risk is unprotected oral sex.  This incident did not put you at risk. Hence, you need not test further.

Well, I don't even know if my partner had HIV. There was no protection though and there was no fluids exchanged. except maybe saliva. I dunno, and I also have this little sore on the tip of my tongue but i used get them quite often anyway...but now it could be a result of HIV. (I know I sound crazy and paranoid) I'm sure there are many explanations as to why I used to get those ulsers.
but anyway, yeah 7 weeks, and I just don't know if I should be able to sleep at night.
