I know Vance told you to post here but really you have no reason to get additional testing done. I only recommended the testing for you to know your status in general, not because there was any risk from the encounter you had.

if you have lots of money to throw away, I can share some of my son's college expenses with you :)

Majority of people will test positive by this time.  As grace said the risk from the encounter is not why you were told to test. We only tell people go 3 months and believe your results.  No need to keep testing.

Ok. So the test is accurate 3 months post-exposure?  Most people will seroconvert during that time?
