"They" do NOT say 90 days for the antigen-antibody (AgAb, 4th generation) HIV tests. The large majority of public health agencies and other experts advise 6 weeks. Anyone advising 90 days doesn't understand the tests, is overly conservaitve, or intentionally misleading. You do not have HIV.

You do not need to test for HIV, however, HIV is only one of the STDs. A condom may not protect against HPV, Herpes, LGV, syphilis, pubic lice etc. It would be prudent to see your doctor for an evaluation. Visit this site for information: https://www.cdc.gov/std/default.htm Wish you good health!
