Welcome back to the forum. However, you asked exactly these questions in your previous thread 2 months ago and they were clearly answered by Dr. Hook. As he said then, your result was conclusive at 6 weeks, and he told you testing at 3 months wasn't necessary. He also explained why some doctors still advise testing at longer intervals like 3 months or 6 months. You said you understood, and recognized that 'you're [Dr. Hook] the expert" and would follow his advice.
It is safe to have sex with your wife and there is no need for further HIV testing. I'm not going to re-explain the reasons. Consider re-reading your previous discussion with Dr. Hook.
Best wishes-- HHH, MD

As Dr. Hook said last time, no STDs are transmitted by hand jobs. Therefore, there was no risk of herpes or any other STD. Believe it -- and stop asking about it on the forum!
That concludes this thread. I hope both this discussion and the one with Dr. Hook have been helpful.
