HIV Worry

Hello doctor,

I had protected intercourse with 3 girls in 2days and unprotected oral sex both receiving and giving with CSW in Germany. This was 6 months back.

Initially I got tested for HIV and STD at 3 weeks of exposure (HIV 4th Generation, Syphilis, Chlyamdia, HSV 1 and 2 ) All negative except HSV IGG was postive.

Again after 6 weeks of Exposure I got tested for HIV PCR RNA test, but they gave me the test report within a single day and which was negative (Can this report be trusted?)

Again after 8 weeks I got tested for 4th Generation HIV duo test which was negative.

Again after 14 weeks I got tested for HIV 4th Generation and STD test ( All negative including Hepatitis B and C also negative). Also got tested for HIV Western blot test which was negative.

During this period since begining I was having mild throat pain and it persisted till today, I met ENT doctor 2 months back and i did not tell about this exposure and he suggested may be GERD and I also have a Gastric problem and using the medicine since 2 months. Also my neck glands were also paining during this time since begining.

I have mild swelling under arm pit since 3 months, but no lump. I have that feeling when I close my hands something under my armpit feeling. Intermittent pain.

Also intermittent numbness on thighs and mild throat pain.

I am worried of sero conversion, though tests are negative (as the window period is 3 months), but is there a chance of late sero conversion (By the way I am a healthy person only).

Do I need to get tested again?

Also I noticed 6 months back after the exposure mild yeast infection on my head of penis, but not sure it could be before exposure too. It is still there.

I did the testing at a private lab in India, can these results be trusted or due to legal issues they report negative only.

Or do i need to get tested in any Govt. Hospital.

All these are making me worried.

Can you please advise.

Thanks.

Protected sex is NOT a risk for HIV. Oral sex is also not a risk for HIV. Your tests were not necessary and are conclusive since you never had an exposure in the first place. No other HIV tests are needed.

Symptoms are irrelevant because they are never used to diagnose HIV. And again, since you had no exposure to HIV then it's clearly not related at all.

Hi, Thought it is protected worried about condom breakage. Also i had unprotected Oral Sex both giving and receiving for a quite long time. Even in that case I do not need further tests.
