Thanx Doc for your kind reply . I cherished to have valuable input from you .
q1)I have refrained from having any kind of sex with my wife since exposure . Can i continue my normal life and have unprotected sex with my wife since u have mentioned the activity was risk free or shud take the antibody test at 4 week mark before indulging in any sexual activity with my wife
I have had lot of stress , guilt , fear and i some how kept my performance level in my work life as i have a aspiring career and at any cost i would not want to go that for a toss .
This was my 1st time i got indulged in any extramarital sexual activity and i dont no how that happened . I swear to god that i will not get into such pissed out activities
q2)Taking your advise as the activity was entirely risk free , may i go on without any anxiety and stress in my work and home life
Your comments are really comforting . As advised by you , as already i have crossed 4 week mark , will go for the antibody test and inform
Q3) But as mentioned by you as the activity was risk , can i conclude that i am not infected

This information does not change my opinion or advice.
"Based on the above reports ' May i consider myself as clean?" YES! You don't need any more testing and can safely have unprotected sex with your wife.
That's all I will have to say. If you continue to worry, I would suggest you re-read my comments above -- and if you continue to obsess about it, consider counseling. The real problem here appears to be guilt and shame over a sexual choice you regret. Deal with that aspect as you need to, but don't continue to mix it up with HIV risk. They aren't the same.
This thread is now over. I'll delete any further comments.

1) Of course I cannot guarantee you are not infected. But if I were in your situation, I would not be tested at all and I would continue unprotected sex with my wife without worry.
2 and 3) Yes -- you can conclude you are not infected and can can stop worrying about it.

Welcome to the forum. By chance, your question is similar to the one immediately before yours, which I answered just a minute ago. Take a look: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/HIV---Prevention/Hiv-scare/show/1926401
This was a zero risk exposure in regard to HIV. Condoms work in vaginal sex, and unprotected oral sex carries little or no risk for HIV (see the other thread). Oral-nipple contact carries no risk at all.
To your specific questions:
1) This was a risk free exposure.
2,3) The negative PCR tests are aroune 90% reliable evidence you weren't infected. The other tests were done too soon. For 100% definitive results, you'll need another test at 4 weeks or more after the exposure. It can be a stand-alone antibody test: the combination of negative PCR (or p24 antigen, in the duo test) at 8-15 days plus negative antibody at 4 weeks is definitive.
I hope this has helped. Best wishes-- HHH, MD
