Risky encounter, tested negative

30 days ago the condom (I’m male) came off during vaginal penetration with a CSW. Maybe 30 seconds went by before noticing. I won’t bother with symptoms.

I tested negative (4th gen duo) at 16 days and 25 days. I want to get tested again at 33 days. Should I?

Not a high-risk encounter.  If your partner was HIV+ - and that's a big *IF* since most people are not - the risk of infection is 0.04%, or alternatively, 99.96% of not getting infected.

Guidelines say test at 28 days.  It's up to you whether to bother or not.
