March 22: had sex with a sex worker. She gave me oral sex with a condom on and then we proceeded to vaginal sex where I don't know if I wore a condom or not.
April 21: I go get tested for all STDs and come back negative.
June 16-July 7: i had a lot of flu like symptoms like stuffy nose( which I still have today) sore throat, nasty cough, persistent headache, body sores, neck pain, and tummy aches. For weeks I thought I had HIV.
July 8: I buy oraquick the in HIV test and it comes out negative but my mind kept telling me I did it wrong.
July 9: I go get tested at clinic. They draw my blood and I believe it's a rapid test. Results are negative.
Today: I sort of still have a stuffy nose with sneezing and I still believe it has to do HIV but my family says its just allergys or sinus but I doubt it cause who gets sinus in the middle of the summer. Other symptoms are a canker sore inside my mouth, my neck feels firm and hard and think it's a swollen lymph node but I really don't know honestly. Here's is my questions...
Should I get tested again? It was past 3 months 18 days the last time I got tested negative but I've heard it can take till 6 months to find antibodys.
Also, the day I got tested on July 9, the doctor told me that when I got tested on April 20 the rapid test would of found something 2 weeks post exposure and that my result in July 9 would be conclusive. For some reason I didn't believe her. Is it true what she said though? Can I finally ease my mind? Please help.

Also the CDC 3 month guidelines can be calculated at either 84 days or 90 days. Remember these are guidelines not absolutes.

Then you are HIV Negative since you tested Negative at 3 months.  Here is the CDC link. 3 Months is Conclusive it's VERY RARE to test Negative at 3 Months then test Positive at 6 Months. I would not listen to the person above me. You can find the information under When I get tested once you head for the link. You HIV Test at 3 Months is conclusive!

Ok thank you very much! Just one more question, so since I tested negative on July 9( 3 months and 18 days after exposure) it would be completely uneccesary to test agian this month or later? And can you send me a link of cdc saying that 3 months is conclusive please.

I'm not a Doctor nor can I Diagnose any symptoms you have over the computer. I would suggest seeing a Doctor or Dentist about the Ulcer's in your mouth and the 2 reddish bumps. But if you tested at 3 Months and tested HIV Negative then I can say that those things are not related at all and have a different cause.

Can you explain then the mouth ulcer and two reddish bumps on my upper lip then, I've been reading a lot online and they all seem linked to HIV..

I 100% agree with FtworthStress 3 Month's is 100% Conclusive  it's very nowadays to be testing Positive at 6 Months today's HIV test are way more sensitive then the test used back in the 80's and 90's. Also since you have a Negative result I think you should Discuss possibly going to PrEP with your Doctor. It's 92% effective at stopping HIV infection if used with a Condom. Get more information here at the CDC site!

You've been told time and time again that you are negative. There's nothing that we can say that is probably going to impact you. Seek mental help to move past this situation. I had to do this as well.

Best of luck, and remember YOU DO NOT HAVE HIV.

Your rapid test is conclusive. you are negative. the six month window is no longer used.
