Brief Answer:
The result is 100% confirmatory.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sxxxxxxxx4,

Welcome to HCM.

The HIV test result after 12 weeks is 100% confirmatory because the window period for HIV varies from 15 days to 3 months. If any person takes PEP then antibodies of HIV are not detected in the blood. Pain, weakness and burning sensation are due to some other reason but not related to HIV no need to get worried.

Ulcers in the mouth can occur due to vitamin deficiency so consult your physician to isolate the cause and take some multivitamin tablets to get relief. No further test is required as you are absolutely safe and risk free. If still any doubt is there feel free to ask me and I am always here to help you out. Be relaxed, forget about the episode and move on in life happily.

Thank You
