A member asked:
Potential hiv exposure 3/5 - i performed oral sex and swallowed his semen, didn't know his status. i took a rna pcr test on 3/17, rna test on 3/27, and 4th gen agab test on 4/19: all -ve. conclusive even with 1 day still in 45-day window period?

Performing oral sex is very low risk for HIV, even swallowing semen. CDC has estimated the risk to be one chance in 10,000 if the penile partner has HIV. (This is equivalent to giving BJs to infected men once daily for 27 years before infection might be likely.) One day makes no difference in test reliability. The combination of tests you had at those times is 100% proof you weren't infected.
