11.30 protected vaginal sex-and oral with ejaculation in mouth- no sores or cuts in my mouth

The answers will not change from the advice offered in your first thread, including the advice to see a therapist: https://www.medhelp.org/posts/HIV-Prevention/False-positive/show/3053066

You need to ask your doctor why she's sending you to an ID specialist.  None of us can guess.  You don't have HIV.

I believe I am  HIV free too, and I'm looking to the forum for educated medical reasons from another Dr. / hopefully an IDS for an opinion or from experience as to why I would be sent to an IDS because I don't have anyone that knows about this topic to speak with. this is why I am asking, and a therapist is not a DR who can give me answers on this topic.
I reached out to my Doctor to order a final test to my mind since it would be well after 12 weeks  to take a conclusive test.
We aren't able to answer non-HIV related questions in this forum.  The purpose of this forum is only for HIV prevention and testing questions, and the people who help in this forum only answer those questions, and you do not have HIV.  There's an infectious disease forum here if you want to ask questions there, but if you ask about HIV, they'll just send you back here.  
I understand, but why in the world would my Dr. diagnose me in all my medical reports as HIV + and why would my 4th generation test come back reactive?
Do you know anything about PCR RNA testing?
In your previous thread, mike_no explained very well that you had a false positive, and why it could happen.  Your confirmatory tests were negative.   You need exactly ZERO additional HIV tests.  There is no other way to put it.
