Assess my situation
Hello there,guys.
I had a low risk exposure, unprotected Oral sex, with a dude. I'm a dude myself. We both took turns sucking.
That was all. This was over 3 months ago,june 10th,2015
Since then I've had 4 antibody tests(CMIA).
30 days after exposure
67 days after exposure
81 days after exposure
94 days after exposure.
All of them are nonreactive.
But I'm still having some symptoms like one swollen lymph node, a bit of sore throat.
Are my results conclusive and confirmatory of me being HIV -ve?
Or should I consider a retest at 4,5,6 months?
I was thinking of having a HIV PCR-DNA at 115-120 days to close this tough chapter of my life.

Best Answer
1st of all oral sex is not a risk for Hiv.2nd of all you have consistently tested negative. So you truly are HIV negative. 3rd the pcr dna test is not a HIV test but an aid for diagnosis and is used only 10-14 days post exposure after that you will still require a 3rd or 4th gen HIV test. At this point you will be paying for an expaensive test for nothing because you have consistently tested negative.
When was the last time you guys came across a delayed seroconversion?
And what were the circumstances?

You are conclusively negative, regardless of what you want to believe. You did not need to test in the first place.
