I have a question about HIV risk.
I recently got an Oraquick HIV 1/2 rapid blood test done a few days ago. The test was taken at the 3 week mark after having protected sex with an escort and I was negative on that test. I have had symptoms of a headache, sinus draining, and now sore throat. No fever, swollen lymph nodes, or rash. Would the test I took be accurate and what should the next steps be that I take?
no need to test, you had protected sex. no risk for HIV. your first tests were unnecessary.
You are wasting your time testing since the sex was protected. You had no chance of acquiring hiv. Your symptoms have nothing to do with hiv.
