Help me, time for testing

Dear Doctor,
I am a man, I had a no protected sex with a new female (have HIV positive) about 3 month ago.
I had PEP in 70 hours later.

63 days after my last dose of PEP (93 days after I had unprotected sex); the result (quick test HIV) is negative.

Do I  have to test again at 3 month? Can I trust the result of this method at 63 days?


Thanks alot your reply. I greatly appricate any help!

I'm not sure if you know but this is a public forum, if you'd like to get a response from a doc you'll need to seach out the doctors Question section on this site. I think taking post-exposure prophylaxis within 70 hours it can still work and a negative at 93 days is good but suggest strongly that you paste this question into the doctors section. I wish you the best.
