determine hiv test accuracy?

[lookingforinfo11]

hello everyone i am inquiring for more information about this determine hiv test. i had protected anal sex with a trans prostitute and one month after i got really sick swollen lymph nodes and very bad sore throat with white spots. i was prescribed amoxicilin and got better but being worried as i was i went to my local clinic and asked for a hiv exam. they pricked my finger and told me it would be conclusive. they said it was an ab ag test. would my antibiotic affect the results of this test? and should i believe the conclusiveness of this test?

4 weeks. Any other test is 3 months.

and do you know what the accuracy of this type of test is? is it conclusive after 4 weeks?

Protected sex is always zero risk, so you are negative and your test was a waste of time. It is not surprising that you got a sore throat nor that it went away because billions of other negative people experience that too. You are safe and can move on to a happy life.

You should definitely believe it, because you didn't have ANY risk for HIV to begin with.  Protected sex keeps you safe from HIV as long as the condom didn't visibly rip - and you would 100% notice if it had.  There's no such thing as tiny holes that can cause HIV transmission.  It really is just that simple.

ANY test you take will be conclusive, and negative.  Despite the symptoms you had, they are not related to HIV since you had zero risk for HIV.  You don't need any more tests, and you can forget about this event and move on.
