Windows test with PEP

Hi, I just asked something in Spanish and I guess that I am in the English section. So, I am going to translate it:

Hello, I would like to get an answer on the following question. I had a HIV risk exposure 3 months ago, I took the prophilaxis post exposition (PEP) for 28 days after such an exposition, and today (3 months after the risk exposure), I took a blood test Elisa of 4th generation ANTI-HIV-1 (group O and M), ANTI-HIV-2 and ANTIGEN p24,. The result has been NEGATIVE. The question is if I am already safe or my windows test could have change because of the PEP. Thanks a lot for your help!

Yes.
But the real answer is you didn't need PEP as you didn't have a risk. A "wound" would have to be very fresh, very large and you would not be giving oral sex if you had that going on.

Sorry, but my English is not good enough, however I understand that when you say "3 months after PEP" it means 3 months after finishing PEP. Then, I guess I need to wait one month more. Am I right?

So I had oral sex with a wound in my mouth with a guy. When we realized, I went to the hospital and since the other guy took a blood test and he was positive, I received the PEP. I started the PEP 17 hours after the exposure. However, today it's 3 months after the risk, not after the PEP has finished. Is it still conclusive?

Every area is English, just in the International Expert forum Dr. Jose can speak spanish.

3 months from PEP is a conclusive result.

What was your risk?
