I had an exposure on the 24th of August with a sex worker from a massage parlor . She was Colombian and gave me oral sex with a condom . I was going to begin to have intercourse but I wasn’t fully erect . I was very nervous. I am not sure if I penetrated as she kept telling me to stop taking it out. After struggling for 2-3 min I stopped and ended the meet. I removed the condom and felt a liquid as I took it off however I believe it was the lubricant from inside the condom. I didn’t check it . 

I left and have been thinking about potentially exposing myself to HIV . I’ve been having a cough and sore throat for several weeks now and my latest test was September 26 and everything was negative. 

My question is , what are the chances of my exposure becoming a positive HIV test since I am still in the window period from that encounter? And still have a cough and sore throat. Could these symptoms be Acute HIV since they lasted weeks.

 I will make 6 weeks come OCT 8.

There is virtually no chance you have HIV. Oral sex is no risk; there are few if any proved cases of HIV transmitted oral to penis, even without a condom. And even with entirely unprotected vaginal sex, the risk of male infection if the woman is infected is under one chance in a thousand. And anyway, the vast majority of such women do not have HIV. Your negative test 4 weeks later is nearly conclusive. You don't say exactly which blood test you had, but that test almost all others routinely provided by most labs would be positive by 4 weeks.

I hope you're planning on an antigen-antibody (AgAb) test, i.e. 4th generation test. A negative result -- which is what you can expect -- will be conclusive. So stay mellow while you wait. All will be well.

I hope these comments are clear. Let me know if anything isn't clear.

I have waited two more weeks and tested once again . The test was named HIV AG/AB Combo EIA from a blood draw and sent to a lab . The result was non reactivé . 

This is day 50 post potential exposure .

I had to get a redraw for a second test due to the lack of specimen and they also ran another test called “HIV-1 RNA , QN, RT-PCR ref “  and those results also came back normal . 

My question is that this is 

That completes the 2 follow-ups included with each question and so ends this thread. I hope the discussion has been helpful. Best wishes and stay safe.
