Worried. (Men to Men Sex)

The last time i had anal sex was in December 2010. I didn't know if the guy penetrating me was wearing protection an I got really worried.
Also, I last received oral sex in April 2011.
The last time I got tested for HIV Antibodies via the OraQuick Rapid test was in August 2011.
It was a negative result.

Can I be perfectly sure that I have no HIV?
What is the longest for antibodies to show up?
Will it definitely show up within a certain time period?

HIV is transmitted through...
unprotected vaginal / anal intercourse
sharing iv drug works
mother to child

it's pretty simple to protect yourself.

UNTIL you are in a monogamous relationship where both of you have tested...ALWAYS use condoms for penetrative sex.  sex lasts a few minutes...HIV LASTS A LIFETIME ! ! !

So, if I have had HIV, the antibodies test would have definitely shown up by August when I got tested?

oral sex does not transmit hiv.

3 MONTHS post exposure is reliable and conclusive.

you DONT have hiv and further testing is not needed.
