4th generation test

[Hopeful8019]

Had unprotected oral sex and protected* vaginal w a CSW in Singapore about 2 months back. I know the condom went on but not entirely certain it ended protected bc of alcohol. Because of my anxiety I tested at 33 days out with a 4th generation combo, which was negative. I’ve seen so much info re:4 wk/6wk/12 week window that I’ve freaked out again about being in the widow period. I’ve had a scratchy throat, but other than that just anxiety/depression about the stupid thing I did. I’ve not been able to be intimate w partner because of this. Hope someone can help me chill out about this.

You can completely chill.  You likely didn't have a risk since you used protection - it's not likely you took it off at any point - and more importantly, your combo test is conclusive.  You don't have HIV, so you can forget about this event.

Thank you for your reply!

To clarify, I remember seeing the condom removed from possible slippage. Again, could be lack recollection from the alcohol and anxiety playing tricks in my memory of that night. She encouraged the condom usage, so I have no reason to doubt that she wasn’t monitoring it for her safety as well. She was not drinking either. And as you mentioned, I have a negative result to allay my fears.

Condom removed after act.

Regardless of the distributed thoughts you have about the condom, you do not have HIV because your test is Negative.  Trust your test report and move on with your life. Next time, keep alcohol separate from woman, they do not mix well, leaving you puzzled about the memories of what actually happened.
