Question on PCR DNA HIV testing

How accurate is an PCR dna hiv test combo with an elisa test at 30 days, if you test neg on both. would testing at 3 months be considered conclusive for one time unprotected vaginal sex. also if pcr hiv testing is not used to diagnose hiv infection then how come all of the testing centers promote it and are allowed to do so. thanks
