HIV worries
I thank all those in charge of the forum. My first question was that I had a protected relationship with condoms, but one minute after insertion, I felt that the condom had loosened a little. I changed the condom without washing my hands or my old condoms. I do not know whether this is a risk or not. I did a combo analysis after this exposure. By 32 days, I reached today 58 days after the exposure. I did another analysis today, and I am waiting for the results of my analysis. I am very nervous. Please answer me with the following
1, Have you ever changed the result of the combo after 32 days? Please answer me accurately. Thank you.

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air (body, fluids, maybe blood, etc. ). You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are ONLY 3 ways to get hiv. Note that 2 of them require a penis and the third requires a hollow injecting shared needle - there are no OTHER ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
Hiv is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you say "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either. You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
The other person's status is irrelevant when you have no exposure to live virus. You can't get hiv when you use a condom.
Now that you know you had zero risk, it would be ridiculous to waste any more time testing. Don't even bother getting your results - you might as well have tested to see if she made you pregnant since there cannot be any hiv.

I know that I did not need an analysis, but curiosity, when combined with tension, creates great anxiety. Please answer me. Does the combo test change after 32 days?
We do not offer anxiety support. You had ZERO risk for HIV. Any test you take at any time will be conclusive, and negative.
Don't even bother getting your new results - you might as well have tested to see if she made you pregnant since there cannot be any hiv.
