Idea's on test?
I posted on here about a week ago, titles "Am i Losing My mind? detailing the worries I was experiencing.

The possible exposure was 2/17/2011 when the condom broke with a csw. I went to get my blood drawn a week later on 2/25/2011. Is there any test that I can take right now, it's been 3 weeks. I'm so convinced that I have it. It's dumb to think like that but I am a hypochondriac and the symtoms im feeling are freaking me out.
Positives: No Fever, No sore Throat
Concerns: Rash on thigh's, Muscle/Joint pains, Stomach ache's (No diarihaa)
Any idea's?

There are no test's marketed or sold to give a conclusive negative test result earlier than 3 months.
You can take a HIV DUO at 4 weeks, and its concidered 99%. Anything before that really will not confirm your status. However hard it is, try and focus on more positive thoughts. Its unlikley you got HIV from this, but only testing at the right time scale can confirm this.
