Any situation that warrants further testing after a 6 month negative?
Any combination of symptoms, risk, or any other factor? Possibility of rare strain or atypical host response? I have had multiple neg tests well after the window period but troubling symptoms still persist.
Work with your doctor on your symptoms. You do not have an HIV concern as evidenced by your NO RISK situation and your EXCESSIVE TESTING. This group cannot address your symptoms.

Thebody.com and cdc.gov do say that oral sex is a low risk activity (I am sure that many other sites say this as well). It is not likely, but it can and has happened. I agree with you that I have over tested. Just don't know what else to do now with all of these symptoms and no explanations.
I dont know of any reputable site that says other wise. The facts proven over 30 years with many studies, that oral sex is not a hiv concern.
Fyi, you over tested. A 3 month test is final and conclusive and all current tests, test for all strains of hiv.

I appreciate the reply Joggen, and am not trying to be argumentative. I just don't understand why this site maintains that oral sex is not a risk, while most other reputable websites out there agree that it is a minimal risk, especially with open sores in your mouth.
You never had a risk from cunnilingus and never needed testing. You do not have an HIV concern. Your symptoms have nothing to do with HIV.
One time unprotected cunnilingus (for 30 or 40 minutes) in which I had bleeding gums. I tested at 7, 9, 10, 11.5 (viral load), and 12 months. I know I sound like a worried well, but I have had so many symptoms that have been confirmed by doctors without other explanation.
What was your risk and when did you test?
