HIV RNA PCR Test 11 days and 28 days negative combo test?

Hello there! i've had an exposure with a female sex worker, i totally forgot what even happened tbh. I got up to her and she asked me to shower then i lied down on the bed and she opened her drawer and opened up a condom and putted on my dick (it was fully erect) then i was lying down on the bed and she came and rode on my dick like she was sitting on my dick and riding. It lasted only 30-60 seconds before i ejaculate while she was riding then she got off and used a tissue to remove the condom off my penis. I'm so scared that i might have contract HIV because i forgot to bring my own condom and i'm scared that she might have used a natural lamb skin condom? my only risk is that i don't know whether latex condom was used or a natural lamb skin condom.

I've taken a HIV RNA PCR quantitative test at 11 days after the exposure and it came back negative, i took a HIV p24 antigen /anti body elisa test at 28 days and it came back negative. how accurate are the results? as far the clinic says HIV RNA is 97% accurate after 7 days of exposure and HIV COMBO test 99% accurate after 14 days?

should i take another combo test at 8 weeks? thanks

I contacted the lady in the clinic where i took the test and she said they're accurate and conclusive but still i read it online everywhere that no test is conclusive before 3 months. I've done a HIV RNA test (11 days  after exposure) and HIV P24/Antibody elisa test at 28th day and they're negative! i'm so stressed

Seek therapy. You had no risk but won't accept that and are worried about nothing.
The internet does not filter out outdated information. Likely all the info you're reading about the 3 month window period for all tests are from before 2014.

There are still sources that call for a test after 3 months but this is because they're being conservative and following old recommendations even if there is no need to.

Your 28 day test was conclusive.
Also you had no risk so any test at any time would have been good enough.

She wouldn't be dumb enough to use an expensive lambskin since she is only using the condom to protect herself from her clients. You had no risk and need to move on from hiv fears - so your test was a waste of time which is a good thing.

but still how accurate are the tests though?
You never had any risk in first place because it was a condom protected sex, therefore your tests will always be reported "negative" because the exposure was non-existent.

Having said that, your test results are reliable and conclusive, trust your test results. You do not have HIV, so move on with your life normally
let's say that the sex worker used a natural lamb skin condom , considering the test are they quite accurate?
A test is a test, it does not see your past exposure, it simply detects the antibodies / antigen in your serum specimen. If your test is Negative, it excludes you from the infection conclusively, irrespective of what has been done in the past.
khan_pk786 you have not explained why she would pay extra money for lambskin since it would put her at risk. Your theory of lambskin is illogical.
Maybe cuz she just wanted to avoid pregnancy that's why? I just wanna know how accurate are the tests? Do I need any more tests or they are conclusive considering I had a risk , even a small risk?
That doesn't explain why she would use the most expensive condom so your theory is illogical. Plus unlike you, she understands that a condom protects against HIV. It is unrealistic for you to continue to think that she is unaware of HIV risks.
Anyways I've been reading over the forums that 4 week duo is conclusive but I will wait and test again at 8 weeks for the pce of my mind. Thanks
Seek therapy instead of continuing to try to make up new HIV science, because your situation is straightforward and there is no need for all the worrying that you are doing.
