one question about testing timeline...

so i had a low risk encounter with a guy that later told me that his ex tested positive for hiv.
the guy i was with said he tested 3 times (including all other bloodwork) and it always came back negative.
now i just dont know exactly if it was AT the 3 month timeframe. but what is the likelyhood that if he tested neg 3 times lets say a month-2 months after his possible exposure that his next test would be positive?
and since he did all other blood work with those tests woudn't stuff like his CBC be a bit whack or different?
just curious and asking. thank you.

i have been told REPEATEDLY that i was not at risk but i cant seem to shake off that my throat started to feel dry for 2 weeks after 2 weeks of my potential "exposure"...are there many on here that have had something like that happen and test fine?

You        did        NOT    have    a  risk !

You do NOT need to test !
