HIV Testing Rookies

I made a mistake this year and cheated on my wife... Twice.

First episode was with a woman at a massage parlor while I was away on a business trip. Oral sex was protected. The vaginal sex started out as protected, but the condom broke. Once I noticed the condom broke, I took off the ripped condom and she finished the event with unprotected hand job. I was probably inside of her for a few minutes broken condom. Hard to say.

Second episode was at my friend's bachelor party about a month ago where I got an unprotected hand job from a stripper.

Since the broken condom incident in April I've taken the following tests...

3rd Generation HIV 1/O/2 Antibody Blood Test - NEGATIVE @ 7 Weeks
HIV RNA Blood Test - NEGATIVE @ 8 Weeks
3rd Generation HIV 1/O/2 Antibody Blood Test - NEGATIVE @ 9 Weeks
OraQuick In-Home Oral Swab - NEGATIVE @ 10 Weeks
OraQuick In-Home Oral Swab - NEGATIVE @ 11 Weeks
OraQuick In-Home Oral Swab - NEGATIVE @ 12 Weeks
OraQuick In-Home Oral Swab - NEGATIVE @ 13 Weeks
OraQuick In-Home Oral Swab - NEGATIVE @ 14 Weeks
3rd Generation HIV 1/O/2 Antibody Blood Test - NEGATIVE @ 15 Weeks
OraQuick In-Home Oral Swab - NEGATIVE @ 17 Weeks

Is my hand job even a risk? I've read conflicting info. If it was I've taken the following...
OraQuick In-Home Oral Swab - NEGATIVE @ 2 Weeks
3rd Generation HIV 1/O/2 Antibody Blood Test - NEGATIVE @ 3 Weeks
OraQuick In-Home Oral Swab - NEGATIVE @ 5 Weeks

I took all these tests to my doctor and he said to protect my "regular partner" I needed to test 2 times a month until 6 months had passed. Should I have more confidence in my results? I saw Vance post a couple hours ago and he said Oral Tests were not as good as Blood Tests. Is this true? Should I disregard my Oral Swabs?

Your doctor is giving outdated info. Nobody goes by the six month mark anymore. That was only valid for 1st gen HIV tests.

1. Hand job no risk
2. Your oraquik swabs at 12-13 weeks are conclusive. You are hiv-.
3.  I prefer as a personal preference using blood for HIV testing as saliva if infected contains less antibodies. Your oraquik tests are sufficient.  The older oraquiks were more error prone but that was corrected. They are now very sensitive.
