Test result confidence

Hello. A few months ago I had a very high risk. I had multiple unprotected sex with a HIV positive woman confirmed with a western blot. Anyways. I was sure I would be positive but miraculously after 95 days I took and antibody test and the results came back negative. Can I trust this? I'm shocked at my negative result. Should I test at 6 months? Is there any chance I could be infected?

Thankyou. But does the HIV 1 and 2 test cover all strains? And should I test at 6 just to be sure ?

Thankyou very much. Also did you hear that there has been a patient cured of HIV and there is now a vaccine for HIV? The national aids conference was yesterday and I heard that on the news. So I do not need to test at all more????

It's not so miraculous. HIV is not transmitted very efficiently, so often partners remain uninfected after months and years of sex.

If your last test was at least 3 months since your last exposure, then it doesn't matter what your risk was: you don't have HIV.
