11 weeks rapid card method negative.
Dear experts.
I had a protected veginal and unprotected oral sex with a girl 3 times in a day. After 4 weeks me and girl tested for HIV by rapid card and ELISA 3rd gen, it was negative for both of us. Then at 8 weeks i went to lab and asked for test, they did rapid card method (blood test), it was negative. Again at 9.3 weeks me and girl tested again using 4th gen CMIA COMBO test, it was non-reactive for both of us. Today I again tested at 11 weeks (77 days) using rapid card method and it was negative.
Since me and that girl is negative at 9.3 weeks and by my 11 weeks test, is my tests are conclusive? I am so worried. Please help with suggestion.

Good news is you had zero HIV risk so wasted your time testing.
Only sex risks are unprotected anal or vaginal which you didn't have. Oral is not a risk even with cuts because saliva or air each inactivate the fragile virus instantly.
The science is 40 years old so well proven, therefore nothing you can add to your situation will make you at risk.

thank you for your reassurance...i have small query, is 9 weeks 4th gen COMBO test is accurate to detect infection? is their any chance of missing the finding due to window period of the lady in question?
There is no window when you have no risk. Reread the part about 40.
ok...thanks a lot dear.
4th gen test is conclusive at 28 days, so you can use that result if you later meet someone that you want to test before starting sexual relations.
