symptoms of STD

Hi All,

I got tested for HIv about start of 8th week of exposure, and below are the results.

HIV 1/0/2 Abs - ICMA
HIV 1/0/2 Abs-index value <1.00    <1.00
Index value: specimen reactivity relative to negative cut off
HIV 1/0/2  Abs Qual.     non reactive

Clymadia, gono, hep ABC were also tested and came back negative.

1. What does this result indicate. Do I have to go for further testing, now i am at 15 weeks.
2. I see new sympyoms now, my foreskin cuts while i am having sex with my wife, it also bleeds sometimes, and also night sweats. not sure if the cuts are initial stages of sores.
3. Does any STD symptom show up after 12 weeks of exposure?
4. should i restrain from having sex with my wife?

As per vance and other experts on this site, this is not a HIV risk, but i am worried about any other STD'S.

My exposure: cunnilingus, kissing and fingering couple strippers at a club, all of them were on the same day, cunnilingus was very brief probably 10-30 seconds each.

I meant test sooner than a year. Don't wait that long.,

I think your current test is fine already. You could get one more if you want at like 12 weeks

Sleepless nights and night sweats sound like anxiety.

Gono and chlamydia tests were good after only a few days.

HIV is supposed to be quite accurate after only 4-6 weeks.

Did you do herpes? By now your tests would be quite reliable.

I don't know much about the heps.

I think syphillis can come in a little later but bet it would also be quite reliable now.

I would also believe Vance that you had no-little risk.

I would not recommend worrying about HIV tests for a year.

symptoms: foreskin cuts(using soframycin looks like healing). sleepless nights and night sweats.
