I had another Elisa test at 31 days with negative result, the problem now that I am living all the symptoms that might be related to hiv, flu, body rash and viewing the history of your options teak during the last 5 yrs, u are always advice the senders to test at 3 months, I know that my exposure was protected but who knows she might changed me the condom during the inter-course because it broken without feeling from my side, I can't go again for testing, pls advice on the Window period, all the essays for antibodies test show sensitivity of 99 % so it could catch antibodies in low levels and max Window period for any body to produce is 30 days, plsssss advice I am dying from fear before dying from the virus itself, I can't touch my partner for more than month

I got tested with Elisa antibodies test at 20 days and results came back non reactive but index read is 0.19, teak I really trust your opinion, I want to get this out of mind, do I need to retest after 3 months, I just knew that it was protected sex but I knew that the girl I had sex with was raped before by heavy drugs user.

Yes, RainLover is right
A DUO / Combo / Combi Ab+Ag test is highly reliable / accurate at 28 days or anytime post 4 weeks.

You could be ultra confident with the result if it was a 4 weeks but 2 weeks is a little to early.3 months is 100% conclusive.
