Made another mistake after 6 years

So back in January I had an exposure to vaginal fluids and some blood from a female unknown status. Please don’t judge me but I didn’t had a condom so I used a platex glove. Of course I was drunk again , glove was very lose and I know fluids went inside the glove while I was inside her. I had some symptoms and continue to have a couple symptoms. I did tested out to 3 months 4th generation test and came back NEGATIVE , back 6 years ago my Dr said to test out to 6 months. I see most websites mention 3 months, is my 4th generation test conclusive even if I’m experiencing symptoms.

You have tested conclusively negative for HIV.  There is no reason to continue testing for this event.  No expert in the HIV field recommends testing beyond 3 months, no matter which test you use.

Also the symptoms are common to many diseases or conditions, so they prove nothing about whether or not they relate to hiv and have nothing to do with testing guidelines.  Your negative result proves the symptoms are due to something else so see doc for a diagnosis if concerned.
