What was your risk?

Unprotected oral sex
Does risk play a role in window period duration?
you had no risk for HIV from oral sex. Have you had another account here? The only risks for HIV are having unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV needles. Air and saliva inactivate the virus. And YES, it plays a role in window period because if you have no risk, you have no reason to test at all. No risk means you don't have hiv.
