high risk HIV exposure, ars symptoms, negative tests
I had a high risk exposure to HIV.. Ars symptoms at 6 weeks.. Swollen lymph nodes (confirmed by doctor), fever, headache, sore throat, rash, and body aches.. Also mouth ulcers. I had a RNA test at 4 weeks since exposure (undetected or negative) and antibody test (3 rd generation) which was negative. I also had a RNA test at 9 weeks which was negative and also antibody was negative. At 11 weeks had another antibody test which came back negative. Is this conclusive? When should I test again? Swollen lymph nodes are still in my neck and have been for 7 weeks. What's the chance I have HIV due to these symptoms, exposure, and negative tests? Exposure was unprotected sex 12 times.
and i've "heard" the world is coming to an end in december.
my point is...dont believe everything you hear.
3 months is conclusive

Thanks! I heard it can sometimes take up to 6 months for your body to produce antibodies to the virus. Is that true if you've had a significant risk?
3 months is conclusive but DONT expect your negative result to change in the next week
