HIV transmission
I had my last unprotected sexual exposure on the 28th of September 2009 with an indonesian girl of unknown status she was not a sex worker.It was unprotected anal sex for about 1 minute and had oral sex with her where she gave it to me for about 10 minutes ( I am a 20 year old male who is heterosexual only).
I had 2 duo tests for hiv antigen and antibody at 6 months post exposure both negative.
7 standard antibody tests all between 6 months post exposure and 16 months post exposure all non reactive and also 2 pcr dna tests one at 6 months post exposure and the other at 1 year 3 months post exposure.
But i have slightly elevated body temperatures and feel fatigued.
Is it possible that i have caught a rare strain that does not get detected by current tests ?
And is it possible for HIV to be not detected in the blood and still cause symptoms ?
and my final question are my test results conclusive or i need further testing till a period of 3 years ?

My only concern is i am a 20 year old scott from glasgow but i am living in India at the moment and my exposure was in Hong Kong , and all the testing i have recieved is in India so is it possible that these tests fail to detect non local strains and is testing here as good as in Britain ?
wow...you have waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overtested ! ! !
any "symptoms" that you may be experiencing are NOT hiv related...you do NOT have hiv and further testing is not needed.
