Please help
Dear all, I had a possible exposure in the middle of Feb.. I took a duo hiv test 4 and 11weeks 6 days after the sex. All came back negative.
However, 1.5 weeks ago (15 weeks after the sex), I went to a NHS clinic for a rapid hiv test, the test kit used in the clinic is a combination of three little bottles of liquids. The first one is for mixing the blood sample, the second one is for identifying the infection, the third one is for clarifying the result. The positive result should have two blue dots, one in the upper called control dot, one is in the bottom, which means reactive. The health advisor did a test on me, there was control dot, which is very clear, however, there was a white and little bit grey dot in the bottom. The health advisor said this does not matter, the result was negative. But I am still very worried about that.
So, Five days ago (4 months and three days after the sex), I went to two different NHS clinics for the rapid tests again, all came back negative. I also found a private clinic in London for a blood test, three tests came back negative.
May I ask that if the grey dot means reactive, is it possible that the later two rapid test and a blood test I have done after the grey dot testing cannot detect infection? Am I thinking too much? Can I be certainly excluded by hiv infection? Once the antibody generation and be detected by a test kit, it will not disappear within few days, right?

Dear Teak
The pimple on my prepuce recovered a lot, just a little bit red now.
Today, I went for a public clinic, the doctor offered me a rapid HSV2 test, the result came back very very weak positive twice. I Was tested for HSV2 firstly before the sex in February, the result was negative.
However, the last sex I had was just giving oral sex, the man I had sex did not touch my penis at all, if I got HSV from him, the pimple should not be on my penis.
Hence, I am very worried about whether there was something wrong happened in the clinics in where I had my previous tests, because I had a lot of times of tests in clinics.
If the HSV was not false positive, is it possible that I got them in the clinics when the nurses was drawing my blood?
If it is possible, is there a chance that I get hiv from the clinics as well? Because I did not have HSV before, but it seems like I have it now, so I was thinking whether the needles used in clinics were not new. Please help me. I promise the last sex I had was on 13th February.

dear all, i am so sorry to trouble you again. However, yesterday i found a pimple （like a whelk）on the bottom of my prepuce, located in the joint between penis and scrotum. it is approximated 0.2 cm in diameter. I dig it broken, it was bleeding a little bit, and now it was scab. Is this possible a hard chancre, a symptom of syphilis? I am worried about that. or is it possible that the nurse was using used needle when drawing my blood that i caught any STDs? I took my final STDs screening on 11th June, the pimple showed on yesterday. Please help me everyone, is that syphilis or just a normal folliculitis on prepuce? I ate a lot of spicy food recently.
