What Does Negative HIV ELISA Test Post Unprotected Sex Indicate?
Brief Answer:
HIV testing at 4 weeks, 3 months and 6 months
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
With 4th generation ELISA, most of the tests become positive if the person has got infection by 4-6 weeks . However the testing of HIV is recommended at 4 weeks, 3 months and 6 months. Till that time you can not say like with 100% surety that the person is not infected. However there are high chances after 6th week that the result will stay on negative if it was negative. I hope it helps. Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Least likely
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
Regarding the mouth bumps non tender and non itchy need a little evaluation. One thing is for sure and that is that it is not because of HIV. A picture would have helped to see it better.
Get an oral hygienist and let them sort it out for you.
Its time to move on and forget about that exposure.
Take care

Brief Answer:
Could be a role of diet skipping,
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
Those bumps sound like aphthous ulcers but they are always painful unlike your case. and skipping breakfast might play a role indirectly . Stomach discomfort and dental malalignment or excess use of beverages or caffeine or alcohol may cause it.
Try some oral hygiene modifications and let the oral hygienist look at it. It needs evaluation and workup. Its too early to comment on it any further.
You are worrying too much for something you are remotely possible to get. I suggest take some anxiety relief and move on.
Take care.
