Further hiv Test after 32 days required
Hi, I (female) had protected sex with a guy when the condom broke but he did not ejaculate. We didn’t realize it for a few minutes. He was tested negative 6 months ago and I had a duo combo test at 32 days after the exposure which came out negative. Do i need to get tested again? Thanks
Duo is conclusive after 4 weeks, any other after 12. You are safe so retesting is purposeless.

Thanks so much. I did the test in Germany and they told me it’s only safe after 6 weeks (I tested after 5 weeks) so I was concerned it was too early.
You won't find consensus but the expert docs we rely on use 4 weeks.
Ok Great. Thank you so much.
Im still kind of freaking out because of my fear oh Hiv. So I went to a lab today to get another test at 10 weeks now. Do you know of any patients where a 5 week negative result changed? Sorry but I’m so concerned because I had a false reactive Hiv test (3rd Generation) a few years ago.
Those events are unrelated. False + had nothing to do with conclusive negative.
