I got 2 blood transfusions in january and took 4 oraquick tests 5,6,7,8 months later. all were negative. are these results conclusive? reason i didnt get blood drawn is because transfusions are considered low risk exposure now. am i clear?

Nobody needs blood testing after transfusion; the chance of HIV is almost zero. But the oral fluids test is never truly conclusive; up to 5% of people with HIV never test positive with it. There is no chance you have HIV, but if you feel you need a truly conclusive test, have a lab-based antibody or antigen-antibody (4th generation) blood test.
