I'm glad you did not catch hiv after all those worries. But I have a few questions though, where did you get swollen nodes and are they still there despite your negative hiv test? I am worried cus I kinda going through the same situation right now. I took the test at 8 weeks and came back negative but still doubt if I am exposed to HIV because I develop lump nodes in my groin, under the jaw, and behind the left ear. :(

The nurse that told you its final is correct. You do not need further testing.
94 days is past the window period.

Hi san, your negative status at 9 weeks wont change, here in the uk we consider a 4th gen test to be 99.5 percent accurate at 6 weeks so yours at 9 weeks is about 99.9 percent, your stomach problems are more than likely down to nerves and anxiety, , put it to the back of your mind and move on with your life and test at 12 weeks if it makes you feel better but theres no need !!

The window is 3 months for a reason, but your test is unlikely to change.

Your 3 month post exposure test will be conclusive. I doubt you had an exposure if you were that intoxicated to remember I doubt seriously if you could have maintained a erection to have penetrative sex.
