Reliable HIV tests

[mishaaiza]

Hello Doctor,
   I've been having anxiety about HIV for the past few months and I wanted to know the chances of having the virus.  I had unprotected sex with someone around January 2nd, 2009, which was the last time.  I had an oral HIV test done a couple of weeks later which was negative and I also had a second test done around Feb 23rd of 2009 , which was through blood, which also came back negative.  The only thing that is freaking me out is the "window period".  Should I still get another test to be sure?  I'm not saying that he was HIV positive, but I am really having anxiety over this whole issue and I would really appreciate your opinion.  Thank you.

Thank you for your response!  I really do appreciate it!

No you are conclusively negative; there is no reason for anyone to test at the 6 month mark post exposure.

I went and I got tested today and it came back negative! What a relief!  But I have one more question, should I test again at the sixth month mark which will be in the middle of June or is this test that I took today really conclusive?

Test now and your test will be conclusive.
