Question on test
Hi, had unprotected sex with CSW, got very worried had fever after 3 weeks. Did HIV RNA test at 30 days and 4th gen ab/ag with blood drawn in lab at 6 weeks. Both test are negative. Should I consider this conclusive or retest at 12 weeks.
Hiv is never diagnosed by symptoms. Only tests and your tests are conclusively negative. You do not need to retest. You do not have HIV.

Thank you very much. Just last question it's conclusive to both hiv 1 and 2, since I am from India and we do see hiv2 cases here. Also rna only check for hiv 1 and 4th gen checks for hiv 1 antigen. Only 4th gen checks for antibodies for both 1 and 2. Should I be worried about delayed seroconversion for hiv 2?
Your test is conclusive and ur hiv negative.
