Sex during the window period

[Scareddude14]

Sex during the Window Period !        On April 9, 2014 I had an high risk exposure to hiv to someone whose been infected over twenty years. However, during the window period I still engaged in risky activity. My last hiv test was 19 weeks after the exposure with the known hiv positive individual. Considering that I had multiple exposure during the window period starting April 9 and ending August 30th. If I was indeed infected  on April 9 three months following would I still test positive at the respected time ?   Since I had other exposure during the window period would that delay my seroconversion from August  9  ? Three weeks after the incident  I had swollen glands, rash bilateral on my arms and chest, fever, night sweats , and cough.

Every week  1-9 I utilized oraquick test all negative . Week ten I went to the clinic and had a stak pak finger stick test - negative  .  Weeks. 11-15 all oralquick all test negative . Week. 16 homeaccess - negative  week 19 oralquick  - negative can I rely on these results ?

Okay let me try to rephrase my question ! If I was indeed infected on April  9 can another hiv exposure delay the production of antibodies ?  Considering unprotected sex while being newly infected  . Can hiv only from another exposure cause you to test falsely negative .

You are overthinking this. There is no reason to suppose people in the window period from one exposure are at increased risk of infection if exposed again, or that the blood test would not be equally reliable. All you need to worry about is being tested after the window period of the most recent exposure.

And by the way, the window period is only 4 weeks if you have a DUO ( 4th generation) test for HIV antibody and antigen.
