Antibody test?

Is a rapid oral swab antibody test conclusive at the 3 or 4 week mark after possible exposure? Or is that too soon?

I'd like to add that we used the same condom for oral and then anal, keeping in mind that each act lasted about 30 seconds. Does this matter?

So I should probably just move on with my life? I don't want anything to come haunting me later

Then seek the help of a mental help professional. You didn't have an exposure.

That's what other sites have been telling me too, but I've still got that nagging worry. Probably just my imagination playing tricks on me since it was a casual encounter. I should probably get anxiety meds. Thank you for the replies.
