False Rapid followed by 2 W.B. and Elisa ( is this 100% OK )

Hi All

I did a big mistake 3 months ago by having a sex with unknown lady from the street with out any protection. next day I had HIV rapid false positive result and My Doctor, advised me to only come back after 30 days of the initial positive where I did so I did 2 Western blot tests, one the same day when I got that initial positive on the rapid test ( along with Elisa test)   and 2nd one was 35 days later  and all came  back negative, 12 weeks later I did another Elisa. but is 3 months rule of Window period  applies to me to do another test to make it final, if yes which test I should follow? do think simple antibody test like Elisa will be fine

Did you find out why you got a false positive? Where you on any medications or anything?

Just I need some insurance from you if you can because the last test which I did was Elisa  12 week after the exposure & and my doctor told me you have a very strong blood so does mean this will delay the seconrovation of the antibodies and since 3 weeks my hands got really red specially on the top of my fingers and with some hand dehydration for 3 weeks  so are those a signs for seconrovation of HIV  ?

Your 12 week= 3 months test is conclusive. Use condoms correctly and consistently and you'll stay that way.
