Welcome to the Forum. The answer to your question is brief and unequivocal- your test results show, without a doubt that you did not get HIV from your unprotected exposure to a partner of unknown HIV status over 17 weeks ago. HIV antibody test results are conclusive at any time more than 8 weeks after an exposure, thus you have 5 different tests, all giving the same result, which show that you were not infected. No need for further testing. it is time for you to move forward without concern about HIV from this exposure. EWH
Thank you for your response . I guess my main concern was unsure about the in home oraquick oral swab test. But thank you sir!!
