A few 45 days ago, a massage girl had oral sex with me using a condom. At the time I wasn't aware of STDs and didn't know they could be transmitted orally.

The condom expired 2 months .

The tests were done in the laboratory by drawing blood On day 44 and 45 of the relationship

HIV Combi (Ag + Abs)

(0.05) Non-Reactive

———————

HIV Combi ( |&|| Antibodies + P24 Antigen)

Nonreactive

Welcome back, but I don't understand why you have returned. This is the same exposure discussed in your thread a month ago and the answers have not changed. You were not at risk for HIV and did not need testing. At that time you said you would not be tested and would be continuing sex with your wife. Anyway, your test result is negative and proves you did not catch HIV.

Using an expired condom means there was increased risk the condom would break. It does not mean a risk of leakage or otherwise not working. But the did not break, and therefore protection was complete.

I hope these comments help. Let me know if anything still seems uncertain.

Thank you for your response, doctor, but I had symptoms of heat in the body and swollen glands

Is the examination conclusive and does not need to be repeated?

Test results overrule any and all symptoms. As I said, your test result proves you not have HIV and something else is the cause of your symptoms and you don need any more HIV testing. See a doctor if your symptoms continue and/or you remain concerned about them.---
