Asked for Male | 30 Years
Two weeks after I had unprotected sex with a guy eight years ago I had potential HIV symptoms (a fever, chills etc) that lasted approximately 72 hours. I thought nothing of this at the time. Two and a half years later, I had sex with an undetectable man, but had no idea about this at the time. I found out a short time later (I think about three weeks later) and got an HIV self-test done (a fingerprick test) and it came back negative. I guess this means I'm HIV negative, seeing as undetectable = untransmissible coupled with the fact that HIV would have shown up on the test two and a half years after potential exposure, so it couldn't be a false negative result? I've had safe sex ever since, but I'm just curious as to what this could be, seeing as I didn't take another test after that due to my use of condoms. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you had an HIV test that came back negative after the potential exposure and it was performed within the appropriate window period, it is likely an accurate result. Its better to get it confirmed with your gynecologist.
