Brief Answer:
I suggest to get a 4 gen test after 3 months .

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Based on your history, having an unprotected sexual intercourse you should know that exist the risk of HIV infection.But in your situation having 3 negative results of 4 gen hiv test after 2 months from last exposure, means that exist a very low risk of being infected.
So, I suggest to get a 4 gen test after 3 months from the last risk exposure to be more accurate.
Hope I have answered your question!

This is related to stress from this situation and absolutely not with ARS.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Based on your symptoms, having just sharp weird feeling and sleeplessness is related to stress from this situation and absolutely not with ARS.

4 generation hiv test after 6 weeks is accurate but according the guidelines needs to get a 4 gen test after 3 months to be definitely accurate, specially in high risk exposures.
