HIV rapid test conclusive at 5 weeks?

Hi guys I did a rapid hiv test at 5 weeks it came back negative. It was the Alere rapid test but not the combo Ag/ab one just the normal one and I have heard it’s not 4th generation.

I got a blowjob from a girl who’s status I don’t know and now it’s been 7 weeks and I am having rashes on my chest and I have white tongue. Can you get hiv from receiving blowjob?

Is that Alere test result conclusive at 5 weeks? Please help I am really stressed I would really appreciate. Thank you

As stated above, this isn't an HIV concern.  HIV is only transmitted through sexual contact of unprotected vaginal or anal penetrating sex or sharing of IV drug needles.  That is it.  Oral sex does not transmit the virus because air and saliva inactivate it.  So, all tests and any test you take no matter when would come back negative since you never had a risk in the first place.  No reason to test again or worry about this situation.

You had no risk from oral sex. In an adult, the only sexual risk is unprotected anal or vaginal sex with someone who is HIV positive.

You did not have a risk, which is why your test was not necessary.
