Too early? Is it possible?
I tested 5 weeks in with a oraquick swab. It was negative. I tested my partner and so was his. We had two high risk events......15 min anal sex with no ejaculation on his side and a condom got stuck inside me (woman) and his semen spilled on me. I have HSV. With both of us testing neg is it still possible to test pos when I test again? I have had what I think are symptoms but I wonder if the high level of stress over this is causing it. Does stress mimic the symptoms?
Thanks Gias! I am always the one to play it safe so this is upsetting. I make him wear condoms but mistakes happen.
If ur partner has hiv and if u are exposed...don't pay attention to ur sumptoms..only to ur tests...take ur 8 week test..it will.be high reliable as doctors say...and then get ur 12 week conclusive test...it will be high unlikely that ur 8 week test is going to change at 12 weeks...but for a conclusive result u have to test at 12 weeks...good luck and stay safe...
I keep reading your are more susceptible with hsv but thats only if exposed....correct?
So what else can create these symptoms???
Im also having chest pain and burping....thinking that could be an ulcer?

If ur partner's test was conclusive I would that u can't be positive...if neither of u is positive then hsv won't change things...
It's your choice...u could have protected sex with him....or u could cut him of...it's up to you...:)
My thing is two negatives here can't create a pos though but does that change with hsv?
He isn't my beau we just have sex and thats the crazy thing about this. I'm just gonna test and cut him off.
8 weeks is even better than your boyfriend's 5 week test...since it' free u can take it...it will be a very strong indicator of your status but after that u will need another one at 12 weeks for completely conclusive results..
Im taking another one for free at school on the 24th. This first I paid for. Is 8 weeks a waste?
a 5 week negative test result for your partner is encouraging...but not conclusive.
3 months post exposure will give a conclusive result.

Both of u should be tested after 3 months from your last unprotected penetrative sex with other people...if u both are negative after that and u are sure u have a monogamous relationship u won't be infected!
My july experience was with my ex and we have had plenty of nights over the past 4 yrs.
Mine is beginning of july. Him idk but he says he isnt sleeping with anyone else.
