Hiv testing after 3 weeks

Hi Doc

I have looked at alot of the forums on here and I just had a question for you.  I just had a test done which came back negative.  It was an hiv rapid test 24 days after sexual activity with an escort in Boston.  I did wear a condom but just wanted to know the perecentages that this test is reliable.

CDC says 25 days is average time it takes for detectable antibodies to be built up. A 3 month test is conclusive though.

If you wore a condom and it didnt break you were at no risk for HIV in the first place.
