HIV negative rapid test after 2 months?

Hi well im a 20 year old female. Over the course of four years ago i had unprotected sex with four men. Yes I know i am very dumb. There was also one where i gave unprotected oral too. For the past four years i have been DEADLY afraid to get tested for HIV by any shape or form and i havent. I remained celibate for 2 years but then around May i started having unprotected sex with one of my former partners again. The last time we had unprotected sex was around mid july. So give or take a little over 2 months ago. I have been so sick and tired of thinking about hiv so i finally went to planned parent hood and took a 20 minute rapid oral test which can detect hiv 1/2 antibodies. After a horrific 20+ minute wait my results came back negative. So I know my former partners did not have HIV, but i did have unprotected sex two months ago.. Could I rely on these results even though i had unprotected sex 8 weeks ago? Is it too soon. I heard most people seroconvert in within a few weeks but im not sure, Please help.

8 weeks won't change at 3 months

If you want conclusive results now and don't want to wait another month, go take the HIV DNA PCR or P2 Antigen test and those tests will be conclusive. Since you tested at 2 months you are more than likely not to be infected with HIV. Best of luck to you and try using condoms from now on until you are in a committed relationship.
