Test result Doubts

I had a condom failure in 26th December 2017 during insertive vaginal sex with a CSW. I took a antibody test from a private lab in india ( Dr. Lal pathlabs)  on 5th August 2018. The test was " Flow thorugh Immunoofiltration" and the result was negetive . Can I be assured that I did not contact HIV from the epidode ? I am concerned that the private lab may have given an false negetive result to get rid of the legal issues ( they have to counsel for positive result as per the law) . Please help.

You have tested conclusively negative, and you do not have HIV.

This forum cannot help you with paranoid thinking about the lab tampering with results.  We are an HIV forum ONLY.

Thanks . I understand . Apologies .
Dr. Lal's Path Lab is an age old trusted establishment, they test thousands of people across the nation daily. It is absolutely unreasonable on your part to doubt them to do something like that deliberately.

As told to you already, you have conclusively tested negative and now there is nothing more to chew over, please accept your result. You have nothing to worry.
Thanks Mike . I understand . I reason i freaked out was that  it was a self testing , not referred by any doctor .
Condom failure happens due to incorrect application, always release the air from the tip of the condom before usage, please look this up online there are plenty of DIY pics available.
Sorry to come back . I tested again on 11th March 2018 in Dr. Lal path lab ( Combo ECLIA )  and  it was negetive . However , now I am thining that the lab may  not have shown the positive result to avoid trouble ( I tested without any Dr. recommendation i,e  self referred ) . I am  particularly concerned as my  annual employement  test for HIV is nearing . Need some reassurance .
