Hi Doctors, Very appreciate have you guys in this forums, it helps a lot of people. Here are my concerns and my situation blow. I'm not native speaker, please let me know if i didn't states my words clearly. I'll try to be specific.
I'm 22 years heterosexual male in USA with overall good heath condition and don't have any drug abuse. My only problem is i used to encounter female Escort around 9 times ( different escort, 200- 300 dollars an hour level). Which is harmful, i will never do it again. My first encounter was back August 2010, The last one was June 19, 2013 which is last month, In all of the these encounters, i always used condom for vaginal sex ( didn't break, it on my penis after i ejected, and the sperm is in condom) , but 4 of them that i received oral sex without condom, i never had anal sex and never perform oral sex to them. I check my penis area and mouth each time after encounter, no visible cuts or bleeding. And i didn't have any common STD and HIV symptoms by far. Here are my questions blow:
1. I got a 8 STD's test panel 29 days after my last exposure ( my Last exposure was all protect condom sex, include oral, only kiss on lips, and my intercourse only last no more than 8 mins) , The HIV test is( It run by Labcorp, panel 083824, it says Antibody Test with Reflex to Western Blot Confirmation) both result came non-reactive. Also the other STD's include Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis B and C, Herpes, and Syphilis all come back negative.
my questions are: How accurate of this post 29 days HIV result for my case? Can i understand this test as they kind of provide me a double negative result to me because there is confirmation in order to avoid false positive? I remember my second last encounter was around May 20, 2013 which is at least 8 weeks before i had this HIV blood test, I consider my second last encounter is a little more risky, because i received oral sex without condom.
So i assume if i didn't have the last encounter, this 8 weeks post result can be conclusive i don't have HIV?
In addition, Do you know the HIV test i took is 3rd generation or 4th, i can't find information of this. In US, seems there is no Duo test available, so shall i take same test at 6 weeks after last exposure or when is the good time for have a conclusive result? I feel suffering and anxiety everyday.
Thank you so much! Let me know if i need clarify anything.
