What Are The Tests To Confirm HIV Positive?

I had unprotected vaginal sex with a woman over 7 ago. About a month ago she told me she is HIV positive. I panicked, I bought the Oraquick test and the home blood test. The first Oraquick test came back negative but I thought that perhaps I did it wrong, I took a sip of water before doing it and then read the instructions that you are not supposed to do that. But I was too anxious. I got another Oraquick test and that one was negative as well. The blood test came back negative too. All the tests were done at about 6.5 month mark. It s about 7.5 months now and I am anxious again. Should I take the tests again?

hiiii
water is not affect your test result
so be relax
if u want than go for p24 antigen study which is come early detections
dont panic

and take always caution and be safe
use protection whenever u feel unsafe and chance of getting infection

repeat the test after 1 year for just regular check up
once is cime negative than less chance of it will come positive in future

so just relax
