HIV oraquick accuracy after 2 weeks post exposure

[Jhanna8888]

Hi

So 15 days ago had unprotected sex with my bf who I later found out cheated on me.
At 9 days post exposure went to urgent care for a 10 panel STD test; all negative including HIV1/2 4th generation blood test and later found out… that is way to soon to test for any of it.
Now,  15 days post unprotected sex, I woke up with a red, flat rash with some itchy red bumps about 2cm wide scattered through that moderately itches like hives.  Went to get an OTC oraquick saliva test today to
Ease my mind and it was negative 15 days post exposure despite the bumpy rash that started on my chest, abdomen, and chest that resembles hives or… HIV?!?! Also I’m Itchy in side my throat and itchy ears lol

Q- What are my stats/odds of contacting HIV with a cheating bf and a 4th generation test that was negative only 9 days post exposure and oraquick antibody test at 15 days post exposure being negative?

I also understand that all STIs have a window period so I guess my ten panel test at day 9 is just a baseline so I ordered a hep C RNA and HIV 1 RNA test from an online lab. They drew my labs today, (15 days post exposure).

Before he cheated we both tested negative for STIs before we became active. We tested in May but turns out he’s been cheating ever since so who knows my risk. We had multiple sexual encounters of unprotected sex since I thought we were both clean and committed.

So ya. Fun times.

Sorry your boyfriend cheated. That stinks. Know that HIV is hard to get for him from a cheating exposure and you from sex with him after it. Unprotected sex has a less than 1 percent transmission rate so very low risk for HIV. Now, also. HIV Is NOT diagnosed by symptoms. There is no reason to suspect hiv from you describe because that's not how hiv works. You need to wait a full 28 days and then take a 4th generation duo test. Expect it to be negative. Truly, expect it to be negative.  You can post in the std forum if you have more std questions but that's the low down on HIV. LOW risk and just wait to test at 28 days. I would not be worried. I'd bet my right arm it will be officially negative.

Is it promising that my oraquick antibody test at 16 days / ~ 2 weeks post exposure is negative? Is that of any consolation given I tested with a “rash” for 3 days?

Just curious…. I thought I read once that testing at or over 2 weeks is promising even for oraquick results? I am trying to get some anxiety relief!

It's promising that the risk was less than 1 percent chance to  begin with. Think about that. There was virtually no risk at all from it. No, no tests you take prior are indicative of anything though. That's not how it works. And rash though has NOTHING to do with hiv. That's just your anxiety at work there. Take a test at 28 days and let the event go.

If his test on May is negative and you know him  personally so mostly this is 0% risk exposure. Even if he got another relation after that . Regarding rash you have it is very possible to be stress hives . If you will do hiv pcr rna test now and get negative result this will confirm you that you did not get hiv otherwise you can do hiv 4th generation test at 6 weeks post exposure . Really no need to worry you did your best to be in safe side and you are safe .

A 4 gen test is conclusive after 4 weeks so you can test on Dec 8.
