Is the hiv results conclusive?

I did 4th Gen and RNA at 17th days after exposure, later I did 4th Gen at 26th, 35th days after exposure, all negative, is it conclusive at the moment, should I continue to check at 6th week or 3 months? I was anxious for it for a month...

I really guess I'm just adding on to already very smart members when I say since you  number 1, had ZERO risk. and number 2, over tested for your non risk exposure that you do NOT have HIV.  It is time to let the fear go and if you can not, please consider talking to a therapist regarding anxiety.  You are nervous only because of anxiety as rationally, you are being told with no room for doubt that you do not have HIV.

You had no risk. Condoms are sufficient to protect against transmission of HIV and unprotected oral is not a risk.  Your testing history and patern points towards anxiety. Perhaps a therapist will be able to help you to overcome it. I will reiterate, you had no risk and testing wasn't ever necessary.

Thanks for explain, till now I still have a throat issue that saliva stuck in throat and leads to cough, this symptom starts from the 7th days till now, that’s the reason makes me still nervous.
You are not choking your lungs from some hiv induced saliva issue. From your description, I'm not sure if you just cough once in a while but if it's persistent then remember that anyone can get a cold in flu season, so the best thing for you to do is accept the good news that the advice is to move on from hiv.

At this point in time, I would avoid encounters with people you don't live with because of the likely 100% risk of you contracting or spreading Covid (if one of you two was positive) in which case you might also spread it to your loved ones.
Since neither of you were social distancing, I hope you check out this forum for information on why you should be doing that 100% of the time today. https://www.medhelp.org/forums/Coronavirus/show/2203
Your health is your wealth, so I hope you remain healthy to be able to enjoy life. Many infected Covid patients including young people are under the misunderstanding that they have zero risk from Covid, but will discover that not all of them will be spared permanent lung and related heart issues in which case they have lost that wealth forever.
I will reiterate, you were never at risk. If you had ailments see a doctor for a proper diagnosis. You can't contract a virus that you were never exposed to. You don't have an HIV concern. You don't need to test.

I had sex with a sex worker (Oral and vaginal sex, no kiss ) with condom at Feb 19th.
You never had a risk for HIV, and your negative tests prove that you did not get HIV.  Move on from this event.  Protected intercourse is NOT a risk for HIV.
