neg. w/oraquick but worried about blood work

i received unprotected cunnilingus from a man exactly five months ago, and my hand came into contact with some of his pre *** (I bite my nails so i do have some cuts around my cuticles).  I had a blood test done last tuesday, but didn't want to wait a week to find out the results, so i went for an oraquick finger test the next day...came back negative.  Now I'm concerned my bloodwork from my Tuesday test will come back 'indeterminate' or positive....my mental state cannot handle that....the counsellor told me an upset stomach or drugs could cause an indeterminate result, and my stomach was definitely upset that day due to anxiety, and I had taken gravol the two days leading up to the test.  What are the chances of an indeterminate or false +.  In my head, I know I'm negative, and my oraquick proved it...I just can't deal with having to endure more testing.

You tested NEGATIVE with oraquick rapid test and you'd still be NEGATIVE no matter which ever form of the test you use

Nothing to worry about you didn't even require this second test, results won't change :)

thanks for the quick reply. Just so I understand, if I got a negative on the oraquick, then the elisa I took the day before should also be negative when i receive it next week...there's no way it would be indeterminate or false +?

For 'the future,' how risky is receving unprotected cunnilingus?

Cunnilingus= NO RISK

Your test will be 110% negative.

And for info, no meds or anything would effect the reliability or result of a test.

...then what causes false + results or indeterminate?

Non-specific reaction, hypergammaglobulinemia, auto immune disease such as lupus, or any other antibodies directed towards other infectious agents which may be antigenically similar to HIV.

I really don't think any of this applies to you or you would know about it.
