posting hpefully for the last time about oral

Yesterday I went for my 13 weeks test from my last risk of oral back on January 2nd since I've had
1.Hiv DNA with antibodies test combo at 25 days but I was told at 25 days hiv DNA was too soon.
2.ELISA at 4.5, I was also told it was too soon.
3. Rapid test done at 6 weeks but this was at a volunteer clinic the test was done by a volunteer not a trained professional.
4. 8 weeks ICMA test done by labcorp,but when I called to find out the generation of the test even the nurses had no clue what generation or what ICMA was.
5. I am not circumsise and I read that I am at a high risk for hiv, is this true even for oral sex?
Ps.
Dr. H I am currently getting mental help for my anxiety

Thank you Dr.
I think I need that 13 week test to move on.  This one is an ELISA 3 rd gen done by the hospital but I won't find out until the end of this week.
I will post with my results

Welcome back to the Forum.  I note that this is your third question on this Forum in less than 3 months. We ask clients to not post more than twice in any six month period.  I will briefly address your question a single time, particularly as all that I will be telling you basically repeats what Dr. Handsfield told you just a few weeks ago, and that will conclude this thread.

You need to believe your test results,  Dr. Handsfield has already told you that the exposures you listed did not put you at meaningful risk for HIV and that you did not need testing but, since you had already tested (repeatedly using different tests) you should accept the results as further proof that you were not infected.  Despite that you have kept testing and guess what, the tests are still negative- no surprise there.  It is time for you to understand and accept the fact that you did not get HIV from the exposures you have described and stop testing for HIV.  It is a waste of time and energy and it appears from looking at many of your nearly 50 interactions on various forums that that energy would be well spent addressing your anxieties.

I hope this comment is helpful   I only wish the best for you and continuing to worry that you might have gotten HIV from what was a virtually no risk exposure is not in your best interest.  EWH
