Rapid HIV Antibody Test at 6 weeks

[mikey010203]

Hello everyone! I have had an encounter 5 weeks ago where a guy performed fellatio on me (his mouth, my penis) and shared a fleshlight masturbator using soap as lubricant (it wasn't washed thoroughly but we lathered our penis with soap as lubricant) this was the entire encounter and it lasted at most 15 minutes. I'm going to have an HIV Antibody rapid test next Sunday (6 weeks post exposure). How reliable can the results be at 6 weeks? Do you guys think my exposure was high risk because I felt similar symptoms as caffeine withdrawal a week ago although I did stop drinking coffee after drinking some for 2 weeks. But I'm not sure if it was attributable to caffeine withdrawal or maybe it was ARS? A year ago, I saw the same guy and tested HIV negative 6 months after but it was a year ago and I am unsure of his status now. Though he claims he is negative. Please help guys. Thanks and more power to everyone!

Thanks for your response! Do you think I should still test, though?

No risk for hiv infection took place

Thanks for the response, john280 and it's good to hear your negative results. I can only get the rapid antibody tests as this is the only one available from where I'm from. I was wondering if testing at 6 weeks with this particular method was reliable. :-(
