Hiv risk? inconclusive test?

2 years ago i had mutual oral with another guy, stopped way before he finished. he finished on my arm later. no cuts or sores on my skin. this is last contact i had with anyone


my blood came back inconclusive 1 month ago, waiting very sick and worried for my second test.


what are my chances to be infected ? and should the test have been a definate no questions positive by now if it was to be?


I'm scared to death over this

Hiv risk? inconclusive test?
The term "indeterminate" relative to HIV testing usually refers to the HIV antibody Western blot assay. The HIV antibody Western blot assay is used on two or more specimens found to be reactive by an HIV antibody EIA screening assay. (6) Persons who are not at high risk for HIV infection and do not have symptoms, and yet continue to test indeterminate, usually have a very low probability of being infected with HIV. (7) There are many possible reasons for an indeterminate HIV antibody Western blot assay. Some of these reasons might be:





Prior blood transfusions, even with non-HIV-1 infected blood





Prior or current infection with syphilis.





Prior or current infection with malaria parasites.





Autoimmune disease (e.g. diabetes, Grave's disease, etc.).





Infection with other human retroviruses (e.g., HIV-2, HTLV I/II).





Association with "large animals." Animal trainers and veterinarians are sometimes exposed to viruses which do not cause human disease but may interfere with HIV antibody tests.





Second or subsequent pregnancies in women.








Whether or not persons who test HIV antibody Western blot indeterminate should be retested depends upon their clinical presentation at the time of testing and what risk factors are present for infection. If a person has an indeterminate Western blot assay for HIV-1, several things can be done. These include:





Run an alternate HIV antibody "confirmatory" assay on the indeterminate HIV antibody Western blot specimen. The FDA has approved an HIV antibody IFA (immunofluorescent assay) procedure as an equivalent confirmatory test to the HIV antibody Western blot.





Consider running antibody tests for other human retroviruses (HTLV I/II and HIV-2).





Run tests to identify the presence of the virus. These tests could include HIV DNA PCR, HIV p24 antigen, and HIV culture.





Re-test at 3-month intervals for 6 months.
Reply:the test has problems coming back inconclusive.
Reply:the sperm on your arm should not be a risk, but even without ejaculation oral sex is a risk. So, unfortunately, you will have to wait for the test, it's impossible to guess.
Reply:oral sex is a very low risk, highly unlikely, and yes if you were positive it would show by now, but saliva kills the hiv virus, if he had a lot of blood in his mouth then yes there's a higher chance you could've gotten infected, but who performs oral sex with blood in their mouth, no reason to be scared to death over this, if you're that scared maybe you shouldn't cross busy streets or fly in an airplane or even drive, b/c the chances of you catching hiv are greater than getting killed in a car accident tomorrow.
Reply:even if he didnt finish in ur mouth u can still get any std including hiv from oral sex sorry better luck next time
