You are obsessing about this.  You don't have HIV, never had a risk, never needed one test let alone multiple tests.

Get yourself some psychological help if you cannot put this behind you once and for all.

Any test after 3 months is conclusive and final.

The sensitivity should read the percent that will be CORRECTLY positive and specificity should read the percent that will be CORRECTLY negative.

That test is a 3rd generation Antibody test that tests for HIV 1/2.  This is a very sensitive and accurate test.  The sensitivity of this test is 99.7% which is the % of the result which will be positive and the specificity is 100% which is the % of the result which will be negative.

I have read your posts on here and believe me you are fully conclusive at 5 months.  90 days is considered conclusive and FINAL.  I have been where you are and believe these guys on here when they say ORAL is NO RISK.  They have a wealth of knowledge and understand the science of HIV.
