3 months ago i had a unprotected sex with a sex worker. then after 3-5 weeks after the exposure i develop some bumps on my scrotum, they looks like acne for me, but i really dont know what are they. i also had this 1 bump on my penis. and until now they are still here. are this symptoms or what?
after 52 days i had myself tested and here is the result
serology
hiv 1&2 (quali)
method: immunochromatography
kit: SD hiv1/2
result:nonreactive
after 94 days i had myself tested again from another private clinic (result came back after 1week)
hiv 1 & 2 (quali)
kit: SD hiv1/2
result nonreactive
TP-PA (qualitative) :NEGATIVE
RPR: NONREACTIVE
HBsAg (rapid)screening :nonreactive
1. are my test conclusive? even the 2nd test? they get blood from me then they just made the test after 6days. will it have an effect?
2. i also had some STD test, but i really dont know what are the results for, what i only know is they are negative or nonreactive, can you pls help me about this? i had those STD test because of the bumps on my scrotum.

Thank you. I believe and trust the results. Sorry but i have another question. Im asking you this because the nurse who did the test dont know what is a duo/combo test. All she knows is screening test. I try to find informations about sd hiv1/2 but i cannot find anything. all i know it is not a rapid test because the result came after a week. Iall what i have seen on the net is sd bioline. Do you know what is sd hiv1/2 ? 3rd gen? 4th gen?
Thank you for james for the reply. But i have 1 concern. I have this chronic allergic rhinitis. Before and after my sexual encounter i am drinking anti histamines. Will this have an effect on the window period for antibody?
