You never had a risk. But if your adamant on testing an 11 week result will not change. Get testes now for piece of mind. The 6 month window has been outdated for some time now. You will be negative.
You do not have HIV my friend. Celebrate this fact, be happy and always use condoms!
I've had 3 test .... I'm going for a 6 month test in April can't stop thinking about it i just don't want to infect anyone and possibly help myself my doctor won't test me anymore he says i don't have it but I've been so sick for the past 4 months mostly weak and lymph nodes in lower back
I read your first post and a few in between. You are still concerned about the oral sex exposure .
You had no risk...you don't need testing, but you either tested anyway or plan to test at 11 weeks. If that is correct then in your case yes it is conclusive since you did not have a risk to begin with. But, IF, you had a real risk then a 12week test will be conclusive.
I know for a fact that you will go out and test, no matter what we have advised you about your risk.
So...to reiterate...you did not have a risk and you don't need testing.
But....for information's sake...if you one day have a real risk...then only a 12 week test will be conclusive and it shall remain so until the FDA accepts and approves and verifies clinical trials from a test manufacturer claiming conclusive negative test results earlier than that. I cannot see that happening anytime soon.
