PEP, PCR and stuff
Hi there,
11 weeks ago I had unprotected oral sex with a HIV+ woman.
'I received a PEP, but only for one week.
A few days later (week 1-2) I developed a rash and headaches.
A PCR Test was made 5 weeks after exposure, and two Antibody-+P24antigene Tests in Week 8 and 10 after exposure were made, came all back negative.
Is it possible that the PEP affected either the PCR or the Antibody-Tests?
If I had HIV, the count of viruses must have increased until week 5 (PCR), is that the case?
What are the chances for me to have HIV?
Sorry for the influent English.Thanks for your help.

As you were advised you were never at risk.
I thought there was a risk....I gave and received oral...was that really safer?
of course they were all negative...YOU WERE NEVER AT RISK and didnt need testing in the first place.

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
