You don't have any unprotected sex with anyone while you're waiting to be tested if you believe you had had an exposure.

NO,only if you have had a risk during the window period the waiting starts again.

sir, is it presumed (for the tests beyond window period) that the person getting tested has abstained from sex during the window period? if he has sex with safe partner in this period has he to wait clear 3 months again?

is an Elisa test after 16 weeks conclusive once and for all? is it possible that there may be the possibility of some persons developing antibodies after this period? somewhere else i read that a test after 6 months is more conclusive. please advise. although i was Elisa-tested after a period of 16 weeks, i have this feverishness  and sore throat (8 days)after 6 months.

your test PROVES that hiv is not your problem...further testing is not needed.

if you are having health concerns, see your dr to find the cause.  it's not hiv related.
