I was raped and beaten several years ago.  And I struggle but am in intensive counseling.  

In January 5, 18 I had warts frozen off my penis.  Later that night I had a massage girl perform oral sex with a condom and three thrusts of vaginal sex with condom.  (her condom didnt see wrapper)  4 weeks latter I fingered a massage girl with a nick and  had three thrusts with a condom inside her vaginia. After that I received few BJ's from massage gals always with a condom and maybe a little fingering.

In March I started dating a girl.  She was tested via a lab for everything.... Hep b, hep c, goneria, clymdia, syphilis and HIV. (4th gen).  Her last risk was in mid to late December 2017.  Her tests were done on 4/10 via lab corp.  All negative.

Here is where it gets scary.  I had alot of symptoms and tested many times since January.  Pretty much twice each month using an alere determine ag /ab.  

Well three weeks ago I tested and the results looked weird like some red in the ab test area.  Counselor said it was ok.  I left and went to another site.  They did the same alere ag/ab it also came back looking weird.  She redid the test and it was fine.

The following week I had the alere ag / ab test done and it was negative.

This week I went and had the alere ag/ab done yet again.  This time the result looked weird or positive in ab test area.  The counselor and a second counselor said they didn't think it was positive.   At my request they repeated the test and it was clearly negative.  They also did a unigold antibody test which was negative.  

The next day I went into PA and had an HIV Insti antibody test it was negative.

I also had a hep c  test negative.

Questions:

When can I believe my test results?

The weird looking test results scared me but they were redone all 3 times and we're fine.  Thoughts?

When are antibody tests conclusive?

When are 4th gen tests conclusive?

I am intiment with my girl because she tested for everything.  We use condoms for vaginal or both was is unprotected.

Lastly counselors have said the alere is harder to read results because the panel doesnt always clear.

I just want to move on and have a normal life.  Please help.  I don't want to hurt my girl. (Not that it matters but while fingering her recently I got blood on my fingers with cuticle issues. )

I just want to be able to stop testing and live.

Lastly there was a typo at the end of my original post.  It should have read

I am intiment with my girl because she tested for everything.  We use condoms for vaginal oral both ways is unprotected.

I am sorry that you were assaulted and am glad that you are receiving care.  Your trauma however does not make this Forum a substitute for your anxieties.  As Dr. Handsfield said on his last reply- "You continue to ask the same questions as before, with slightly different words. I'm sorry you are not insured and cannot afford health care, but this forum is not a substitute for direct care. We provide only general advice and cannot diagnose or treat anything. I suggest you re-read all 5 of your previous threads, closely concentrating on every reply. Among other things, you should have learned that your exposure carried little or no risk for HIV and that all your tests are reliable, proving you aren't infected."  All of these statements are still true and much of this post is redundant.  Hence I will reply once, then close the thread.  Clearly our repetitive answers are not helping you or you would not be retuning to the Forum.   As for your questions:


When can I believe my test results?
Now.  You are over testing. There is no need for further testing. 

The weird looking test results scared me but they were redone all 3 times and we're fine.  Thoughts?
Believe your results.  You did not acquire  HIV. No further testing is needed.  Please stop this repetitive testing.

When are antibody tests conclusive?
Antibody only tests are conclusive by 12 weeks at the outside, probably by 8 weeks.

When are 4th gen tests conclusive?
At 6 weeks.
Your hepatitis C results are also conclusive.

End of thread.  Please, no further questions.  EWH
