I had unprotected vaginal sex. 3rd day i had fever of 37.6. 4th day after exposure i had weak legs and kidney, low back pain. At 6 th day i develop sore throat with white tongue. On the 8th day i felt slight headache and on and off fever normally in the afternoon. I went for a complete test at 32 days after my exposure. tje test result came out hiv 1&2 by elisa as non reactive but i was diagnosed with herpes 2. i know conclusive result is only by 3 or 6 months. i am so desperate to know the accuracy for 32 days test. and will herpes prolong the produce of hiv antibodies?

I am not an expert.However I feel that you are safe.It is highly unlikely that 11 week negative will be positive on 12 week or 13 week .However do a test on 12 week.

We follow the guidelines put out by the CDC. While they maybe outdated do to new testing senesitivity we will say 3 months until the CDC changes it.
