duo hiv/p24 antigen test after 6 weeks

Dear Dr,
thanks for your fantastic work on this site.
i had unprotected oral sex both ways with a sex worker in brasil 6 weeks ago.
i know the chances are small but very real that i could have contracted HIV.
i just cannot get the worry out of my mind and waiting 12 weeks is killing me.
i've found a clinic that does the duo hiv antibody test/p24 antigen in a few hours.
could you please give me your views on whether a negative result would be conclusive?
thanks for your time.

Voyager! You don't need to test! ^ weeks is a good indicator, but only 12 is conclusive. Teak you aren't asleep yet.

You didn't need to test to begin with unless you were doing an oral STD test.

6 weeks is not conclusive. 12/13 weeks is conclusive.

oh..you do not need further test.
6 weeks duo test is conclusive for low-risk encounters.

No doctor on this forum...only patients.  It would be an excellent indicator...95-99% reliability but only a 12 week antibody is conclusive.  Good luck.  Sounds like you will be fine.
