If what you're looking is a peace of mind, then go test at 3 months post-exposure and once only and except negative if this is your only concerned interaction. When we said no need to test, that's because the result will come out negative anyway.
Hey i got myself tested(p24 antigen ) into third week of exposure and came back negative.
How assuring is this test result?

No that,s not true.No test is conclusive until 3 months post-exposure.You don,t require testing for your situation anyway.All the best.
