In your case any antibodies can only be imaginary. Seek therapy for your LONG TERM hiv fixation instead of wasting any more of your time trying to get someone here to encourage those fears.  No one here can provide the mental health help you need - even though you might only need a small amount of help, it has to be a one on one session not a chat forum.

like if a person had some exposures of unprotected analsex and 7 months after the last exposure does an antibody test, and it comes negative, is that confirm?
Were your deleted threads about this anal exposure 10 months ago that you weren't concerned about on Aug 8 when you asked about your oral?
If so you got all the testing info back then but didn't accept it.
no, i want to ask another question.... about antibodies test. if a person had some exposures of unprotected analsex and 7 months after the last one, got an antibody test, and it comes negative, is it confirm? what is the window period for antibody test?
Window period for the antibody only test is 90 days.  If you have HIV, you will ALWAYS test positive any time 90 days or more after the event.  Antibodies NEVER go away.
ok, so after all the exposures of unprotected analsex, after 7 months antibody tested, it came negative, so it is negative? and is it true that when people has other illness, the antibodies are hidden and can not detected on the test? or it no matter what illness it always detect?
so , from a exposure after 90days, the antibody test is conclusive? no matter what illness the person has?
