Well your Neg!. @ 35 days is a really good indicator that your end test will also be negative!. They average person will have produced enough antibodies by 25days, so I would feel good about that!. And yes there are leagal actions u can take if this person knew he had an std!. But be confident with your results so far, and Good Luck, Love is blind, so wear your stunna shades next time!Www@Answer-Health@Com
IF you are possitive and this person infected you, knowing he was possitive!. Yes, that is illigal!. Unfortunatly, it will be a little hard to prove that he knew, or possibly that he himself is possitive!. Due to confidentiality that will not be an easy task!.
As fas as your symptoms, quite possibly you're just nervous!.

When should I take an HIV test!?
Though a person who is infected with HIV will become infectious themselves very rapidly (within a day or so), they will normally have to wait a while before an HIV test will produce an accurate result!. The length of time a person should wait before taking an HIV test will depend on the type of test they are taking!.
In the vast majority of cases, the standard test that will be offered at an HIV testing centre will be an HIV antibody test!. The HIV antibody test looks for antibodies to the virus in a person's blood!. For most people these antibodies take 6 weeks to 3 months to develop!. In rare cases, it can take up to 6 months!. It is extremely rare for a person to take any longer then 6 months to develop detectable antibodies!.
Getting tested before 3 months have elapsed may result in an unclear test result, as an infected person may not yet have developed antibodies to HIV!. These 3 months are known as the 'window period'!. So it is best to wait for at least 3 months after the last time you were at risk before taking the test!. Some test centres may recommend testing again at 6 months, just to be extra sure, though in most cases this is not necessary!.
If you are waiting to take an HIV antibody test, it is vital that you do not put yourself at risk through further exposures to HIV during this time period!. This means you should practise safe sex and not share needles!. Any further exposure to HIV may mean an negative HIV test result is not accurate (unless of course you wait another three months after this exposure)!.
The vast majority of HIV tests that are given in clinics are antibody tests, though other types of test may be available in some clinics!.

I don't think I can wait three months for a test - could I get an accurate result more quickly!?
The HIV antibody test is the most commonly used test, and generally provides the most reliable results!. However, other tests that detect the presence of HIV directly are available!. Tests such as the p24 antigen test and HIV PCR test can usually give accurate results within three weeks of infection!. However, not all clinics will offer these tests, and you may have to pay for them if they do!. You should ask you healthcare provider for more information if you wish to take an HIV test before three months have elapsed!.
The previous responder is correct in that the risk is smaller for oral sex performed on an infected partner; your risk would be higher if you had a sore in your mouth or bleeding gums, etc!. Good luck and make sure you get tested regularly until your window period has passed and, especially, during that time use protection to prevent infecting someone else should you have it!.
