oral thrush

hi experts
about 5 months back i had oral sex with another guy, he said he is free of any diseases and we have both oral sex no ejaculation but maybe pre-ejaculation and rimming aith frottage penile to penile as i have been reading this forum long time the risk is low, but since the first night i had many symtomps from first night i had night sweat for 2 weeks and i developed oral thrush in the 5th day i decided to take test
5 weeks and half anti hiv 1/2 negative
8 and half week eia test negative ( lab told me they use this test as confirmatory test)
12 week negative
92 days negative
what i am concerned is oral thrush is still there about 10%  in ly tongue.
some old posts here says if there is symtomps a 6 months test need to be done.
please guide me what to do.
i appreciate your answers.

You didn't even have a risk so all of this pearl clutching over testing is a waste of time. No risk means no reason to test. Unless you had unprotected anal sex with this guy or if you shared IV drug needles would you have a risk. Nothing you posted about is a risk. You should stop this obsession with HIV testing and move on.

Your story keeps changing. You should stick to this and move on. " lab told me they use this test as confirmatory test"
yes but as i have been reading westernblot is confirmatory test not eia
, is there a diffeeence?
Your anxiety is a bit of a mental health issue at this point.
You don't understand science and only trust your own made up science, so discuss that with the therapist before this turns into a much worse mental health issue.

The lab already told you it is confirmative YET you come here hoping someone will agree with you that it is not.
This answers all of your HIV questions, and if you can think of any more just reread about the 3. You had zero risk therefore  testing is irrelevant to your situation because you had zero risk. HIV is a fragile virus, which is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.  
Only 3 adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal with a penis
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex with a penis
3. sharing needles that you inject with.
The only way to get HIV is if you did one of the 3. The situation you describe is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. Doctors have calculated the risk from what you describe to be less than that of being hit by a meteor, therefore no one will get HIV from what you did in the next 40 years of your life either. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established, so no detail that you can add to your encounter will change it from zero risk.
You must have read a lot of year's posts if you are going to claim that someone said the very outdated guideline of 6 months is the standard (although your claim that people here said you should rely on symptoms to guide your testing schedule is 100% false, so I have my doubts about what you understood or what you did read) , so you shouldn't be pretending that there is low risk. You need to stop interchanging the words low and no as if they meant the same thing, and instead move on from trying to work up your personal hiv theory.
You don't have any medical training so your theory is just sci-fi which makes it unrealistic for you to think that can become reality.
Since you don't have any medical training  and this is not a tongue forum, you have to see your doctor about your tongue instead of self diagnosing that something is 10% there.

thank you anxiousnomore but my oral thrudh was diagnosed by doctor but he never asked about hiv or i told him my concern and i zm not trying to dignosing myself but it is keep scaring me. and as i see on old post in the body when a person  mention orzl thrjdh they ask him to seek differents test for HIV
You can provide the link to the post, otherwise I am not going to accept anyone's claim they  correctly read something.

This is a 9 year old post! Are you not aware that science understanding has changed since then? None of these people post now, and I didn't even bother reading it in case it is outdated, or in case you misread it.

Your anxiety is a bit of a mental health issue at this point, since you have scoured 9 years of posts to find this outdated one to try to back up your faulty science fiction theory.
You don't understand science and only trust your own made up science, so discuss that with the therapist before this turns into a much worse mental health issue.
no it is not like that i am just to be in safe side and since i read in all posts s1ys that not all the test has the same accuracy and the same window and i could not figure out what generation of test i did since the lab always ignoring me when i ask so i am trying to conclude that i am in safe side.
