How accurate is HIV Ab/p24 Ag with Reflex test 10.5 days after assumed exposure, which I tested negative. exposure is unprotected oral receiving and protected intercourse with a stripper. Also her vaginal juice def dripped down to my thigh or groin region due to orgasm which is the area uncovered by condom..i know her from the past but she looked skinny, borderline not normal.. Denied drug use, and states she does currently breastfeed.. this occurrence with her was 2 months ago.. she has denied ever having stds but idk how true that is

Welcome back to the Forum. 10.5 days is too early to expect accurate results from a 4th generation, combination HIV antigen/antibody test for HIV. It is also too early for an HIV RNA PCR test to provide conclusive results. The 4th generation test will be more than 98% conclusive at 4 weeks and entirely conclusive 6 weeks after exposure.
On the other hand, the encounter you describe was virtually no risk for HIV. It is statistically unlikely that your partner had HIV- very few women do. Further, condom protected sex is safe sex, contact of genital secretions with your thigh or groin would not put you at risk for HIV and there has never been a case of HIV acquired from receipt of unprotected oral sex. If I were you, I would not even both the test for the exposure that you describe. EWH

Thank you I was diagnosed with genital warts a week or so after this incident.. (visually diagnosed) diagnosed on my groin area.. then had two growths on my penis a few weeks later.. growths on penis were biopsed and negative for hpv.. what biopsy showed was benign keratosis.. so I don’t even know if I really hpv cause the growths on my groin were treated and not biopsed.. I’m assuming bc of the timely occurrence all growths are the same thing.. reason why I bring it.. if in fact the groin growths were present in this case before diagnoses.. would it increase likelihood of hiv transmission or it doesn’t matter?

Visual diagnosis of warts is often incorrect. Your biopsy results support that you may not have warts/HPV. Warts rarely occur in the groin. I think you are worrying unnecessarily.
There are no data to suggest that HPV biologically increases risk for HIV. EWH
