Tets result after 8 weeks. Is this reliable?

[raj230982]

I had a very low hiv exposure. However Since I was very tensed I had decided to go for a test. The counseller suggested some Rapid Membrane Based Immunoassay test, also called as hiv1 and hiv2 screening test.  I have done this post 8 weeks after the exposure.  Gods grace, result was negative .My question
1. Is eight week enough or should I again test after 4 more weeks (ie 3 months after the exposure)
2. I had never head of this test. Is this a good one or should I try some other test. Usually heard is ELISA.  Dont know which test is this
3. R there any chance of human error in this test.  I know this sounds foolishh.
