Think I'm going to be ok?
Hello,
I had unprotected heterosexual sex once (I'm female). About a week after I had a sore throat with swollen neck glands. I was tested for mono and strep, and the doc decided it was a sinus infection..treated with antibiotics. Just irony or early HIV symptoms?
I was tested for Syphillis, Gonorrhea, Hepatitis and Chlamydia and they all came back negative.
I did the rapid oral test for HIV at four weeks and it was negative.
My doctor took blood and did a HIV test at six weeks and it was negative...also did a oral test the same week that came back negative but they said something about not having enough protien.
How accurate is the blood test my doc did at six weeks? I know I should get retested at three months...

Irony and anxiety but do test 3 months post exposure just to know your status :) Dont expect your six week test results to change
