How Likely Is It To Receive A False Negative HIV Result After Unprotected Vaginal Sex?

I had unprotected vaginal sex with a woman (she says she is Hiv-neg) on February 18th, 2013. I recently purchased the Oraquick In Home HIV test and it returned negative after almost 7 months exposure. How likely is it that I received a false negative?

Also, can the stress of all of this cause Hiv like symptoms?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The woman told she is HIV negative, and you had the test negative, then why do you worry that the test may be false negative.
Be confident and and never try such things . Because as you think, it may become false positive next time, so be cautious here after.
She may be negative for HIV, but may be positive for STD, or other diseases and you may share with her.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
