To be honest, imo, this type of test is relatively useless. The customer 15 min before you could of passed her something.
Not to beat an old thread, but I think you guys are confusing "infected" with "infectious." A girl could be HIV negative on Monday, get infected with HIV doing BB Anal behind the dumpster on Tuesday (become infected), and still not be infectious for you on Wednesday (or Thursday or Friday, etc.). Viral loads have to build up in the body above a minimum threshold before a person is infectious to another. Only if you came in contact with the prior customer's infected splooge would you be at risk, and in that case it's actually the prior customer who's infecting you, not her.
This is why the testing regimen works so well in the porn industry, even though the girls are taking it BB in every hole and turning tricks off camera. The tests are so sensitive now that they can pick up viral loads well below the infectious level. If a girl tests clean on Date Y, then she's safe to BB until Date Y + 6 weeks.
Bacterial infections are tougher to manage in this fashion, because those infections can accelerate much more rapidly, but then with the bacterial stuff you have treatment options.
The alarm bell that always goes off for me when I hear this stuff is that a guy isn't just looking for a girl who's clean that he can screw with a condom "to be extra safe" but that a guy is looking for a BB opportunity.
