someone with knowledge, please answer

Hi I was wondering if a rapid oral hiv test is conclusive. I tested negative at 20 weeks post unprotected sexual incedent. This was reassuring to me, but its now been more than 1 year since my test and any risky behavior. And I have developed white spots on the inside of my cheeks, and feel flushed, like a low fever occasionaly, also some sporatic muscle pain. Should i still consider my test conclusive? Thanks in adavance

Yes the oral HIV test is accurate at 12 weeks - Testing past the 12 week mark is a waste of time and money. As you have been told above you DO NOT have HIV.

Hope this helps

Your test would have been conclusive at 12/13 weeks. You don't have HIV.
