Testing
I have waited almost 28 days after finishing pep everywhere I read and everywhere I call and speak to recommend waiting 45 days to test after completing pep. However I’m confused do I take the test tomorrow at 28 days or wait out till 45 days?

You could have done this a long time ago, considering you didn't have a risk for HIV. Test tomorrow, collect your conclusive negative result and MOVE ON.

You never had a legitimate risk for HIV, you didn't need PEP, and you don't really need to test. However, given your extreme anxiety, wait til 45 days. Otherwise, you'll be back here questioning the validity of your 28-day post-PEP test.

No no honestly I won’t be questioning at all, just want to close the book there and move on from it all. Too much time and energy has been wasted already. Just wanted to know if I test tomorrow can I call it conclusive and move forward with my life and sleep with my wife your the experts and you guys know best.
