After pep

I had unprotected sex with a girl one night stand in october .....6 october i started pep 36 hours later and i finished the course i tested a month after i finished pep that was 6 dec and i tested again 6 january and i tested for the final time 4 february and all the results were negative i tested with the oral quick but i want to know if the oral quick is accurate and do i need to test again or im negative.....i developed small lymph nodes which i could feel when i started taking pep so i want to know does pep cause this type of symptom or it was just my body reacting to the medication

Oral, anal or vaginal sex?
The test date is dependent on when you finished Pep = Dec 6.       You are supposed to wait 12 weeks with any test except duo which only has 4 weeks so you tested early. 12 weeks from Dec 6 is Mar 28 for anything. But if you use a duo you can test now.

I had sex  6 october now i think i tested 4 months later
Vaginal sex....i had unprotected  sex 6 oct and i tested 6 dec that was 1 month after my pep completion  and 2 months after my exposure and i then got tested 4 february that was 4 months after i had my exposure and 2 months after pep
I misread.The Feb is conclusive so you are safe and can move on.
Since this is an hiv forum then you would have to see doc about your lymph claims - however self diagnosis is generally wrong because it is doubtful that you understand lymph nodes with no medical training. I suggest you move on from lymph studies and PEP analysis too, and instead focus on something that is joyful rather than studying hiv.
