Thank you. Its crazy what your mind does to you. Ive been worrying so much i am being jolted awake at night, apparently thats anxiety.
I just didnt want to be one of the people who get the symptoms really late. The sexual health clinic said i was low risk and even just by looking at/up me said there was no sign of any std. This experience has scared the life out of me! All the window periods on different websites state different times, i suppose looking at them all does not help in the first place!
As Lizzie advised 3 months is conclusive and you do not need further testing.

In an adult, a positive HIV antibody test result means that the person is infected, a person with a negative or inconclusive result may be in the “window for 4 to 6 weeks but occasionally up to 3 months after HIV exposure. Persons at high risk who initially test negative should be retested 3 months after exposure to confirm results
Then you have a conclusive result and you don't have HIV.
Thank you, i went to the sexual health clinic about three months after, thats when i got the negative result, do i need to go back at all? The rash i had is now fading, i do think it was a cat allergy. Just worrying about it i think is making me worse. Can i go to a sexual health clinic and just ask for a hiv test?
Thanks for your help
pretty sure they use 4th generation tests.
a conclusive result is obtained at 3 months post exposure, so you can test now and be done with it.
