I will be getting the test you recommended!
But do you think that my encounter really had no risk to HIV
If you want to have a fully conclusive test result now, you would need to have a HIV Duo or Combo test, which combines the detection of the antibodies and the p24 antigen.

Thanks doctors
One more question doctor if I did want to get a HIV test coz I worrie to much! Will 6 weeks be ok to wait. I am from Sydney Australia I'm not sure what kind of HIV tests they do here but I was thinking of waiting 6 weeks then getting a test. just going to my local medical center and asking for a HIV test after 6 weeks would u think that would be enugh time for a correct answer ??? & with that 6 week answer move on with my life coz I will be meeting my gf in around 2 & a half months overseas we never use condoms together if i get the 6 week test would that answer be a safe bet so I can be with my gf with no condom ???
But u think I have zero chance of HIV with what happen to me ??
Hello,
Thank you for your psot and welcome to our forum.
from the description of your encounter, I can conclude that there was no risk of HIV infection, even if the lady in question were to be HIV positive. The cut was 48 hours old; therefore no chance of HIV transmission. Your symptoms have nothing to do with HIV anyway as it is impossible to get symptoms of acute sero-conversion after only 2 days.
Best wishes,
Dr José
