Hello,
I was involved in a sexual assault incident that didnt last very long. There was no ejaculation. The assault was anal sex. There was no ejaculation. I am unsure if there was pre-ejaculate since there was an inconsistency of penetration due to the fighting. Either way, the tests that I have done are the following:

1) rapid blood test at 28 days-negative
2) 39 day (Qualitative) DNA-PCR & ELISA-both negative
3) 62 day oraquick-negative
4) 75 day ELISA (lab) & rapid test same day- both negative
5) 88 day rapid blood test-negative.

There is a vast amount of information, therefore a vast amount of inconsistency. I have been told by many people that I am conclusively negative. Yet I see on sites people claiming 6 months should be done as well. From my understanding, that is very old news even for the CDC. I spoke to them and they said its usually for people who have immune system problems. The experts on Medhelp claim that I am negative and no further testing is necessary, but see a lot of different arguments on this site which is emotionally frustrating. I consider myself a healthy person, yet was caught in the wrong place. I am a heterosexual male as well. Please, I am not looking for individuals with opinions, rather someone who is either a doctor or an expert. Thank you for your time an patience.

You need to ask a doctor if you dont want individuals with opinions.
