Would be test be conclusive at this point?

I had a brief "dipping" experience with someone of unknown status, but claimed to be clean almost 10 weeks ago. I have had virtually no symptoms except for a white coated tongue, which may be thrush, but doesn't look as bad as most of the pictures I have seen since searching pictures online. I have tested multiple times; 21 days - Oraquick, 30 days - Oraquick, 35 days - Oraquick, 38 days - 4th generation ag/ab duo test through MyLab Box, 42 days - Oraquick, 48 days - 4th generation ag/ab duo test through MyLab Box (for all STI's) & finally at 64 days - Oraquick. All tests came back negative. Would this be conclusive, as my concern is my tongue is still coated, but has no gotten worse. Thanks for any advice.

Thank you for the response. Would you consider the 64 day oral swab test a more accurate or definitive result than the 4th gen. finger prick ag/ab duo blood test at 48 days? Is the 4th generation test I took from a reliable company in your opinion? Thank you again!

The oral swab tests are good but a 4th generation blood drawn test is better. If you test at 12 weeks, which I recommend you do, have a blood drawn test, preferably a 4th gen DUO.

The CDC recommends that for a 100% conclusive result, test at 12 weeks. Your test at 10 weeks is extremely unlikely to change, but why not go for total peace of mind.

See your doctor about your tongue. There are many reasons it could be coated. It is not related to HIV.
