And then I have taken TEN!!! Negative oraquick in home HIV test the swab kind all after five months NEGATIVE can I forget about this incedent no matter symptoms or anything else ????? But I don't have symptoms just incase I ever do
You are looking for something that is not there. Ten negative rapid tests after 5 months post exposure is PLENTY!!! You will not get that many false negatives. Trust me.
The CDC ONLY suggests testing beyond 3 months for those special cases of people with NO immune system. Examples would be people who had organ transplants and are taking anti-rejection drugs, chemotherapy patients with advanced cancer, etc.
You are NOT one of those people. HIV is not your problem. Anxiety and stress is what you are suffering from.
Stay safe
