HIV risks
Hello,
I had an encounter with a stranger 6 weeks ago, I put my penis in unprotected in her vagina a couple of times and we both did oral.
A few days/week later I developed a very sore throat with white spots on the tonsils, this quickly developed into fevers, night sweats, swollen throat glands, tiredness which I’ve read are all signs of a HIV infection.
I tested at 27 days, and then 42 days. I did this at the GUM clinic in the UK which I feel is a 4th generation test but not sure.
They both came back negative, how conclusive are these? Should I continue to be worried after showing the flu like signs following the encounter?
How accuarate are the 4th generation tests? How likely are they to miss an infection?
Thanks

You should be posting in the Hiv prevention forum. The forum moderators for STD/STIs usually answer for other Std related queries.
4th generation Hiv duo test is conclusive at 28 days and any other test at 3 months. I hope you have taken tests for other STDs, or plan to take them at 3 months. These STDs are much easier to transmit than Hiv during unprotected insertive sex and oral.
