Conclusive testing following PEP

Hi all,

I finally got it together and went for a test. a 4th gen antigen/antibody at 8 weeks post-exposure (30 days since last dose of PEP). Results came back negative as everyone expected. I take it this is conclusive and it is time to move on with my life?

Thank you all for bearing with me and my anxiety. You've all been the best support I could find in these times. To anyone else reading this, if you can't handle the risk, don't engage in risky stuff. Condoms can fail sometimes

Hello, can someone please explain why my follow-ups are being deleted? I was only curious to see if people recommended any further testing following a conclusive test?
