what the chance to receive the hiv?

I had unprotected sex with a girl, it was my first unprotected sex in my life, I am 24 years old. I ejaculated in her, it's been 8 days and I'm careful to not have the HIV virus, what are my chances?

I did Eclia test after 25 days - was negative
And PCR after 26 it was also negative
It is conclusive?

NO.  You were advised to take a DUO test at 28 days or beyond.  Not a different test, and not earlier.  You need to take a DUO test, which is also known as combo, combi, or 4th generation, at the right time.
please stop wasting your time with these other tests and take the advice you were given more than once.

If possible ask the lady to take a hiv test with you.

Okay, first of all, need to relax again.  Remember LOW risk from a one time exposure ---  around 1%.  That's it.  

The PCR test is taken around 14 to 21 days, window period being 2 to 3 weeks.  11 days is too early.

Your best bet is to focus on that this is low risk and to wait for a 4th generation Duo test at 28 days for a conclusive result.  Panicking and hyper posting until then helps nothing. Your risk is low but you need to wait to test for when the result will really mean something.  Stay calm and don't let your anxiety get the better of you.

I’m very, very worried. I can’t sleep, always I thinking about this. why I was so stupid, it was my first unprotected sex. I want to cry every minute. if I will be positive, what I will do??
Thank you guitar rox, what you mean “Duo”?
It's the type of test.  It's an antigen/antibody test and is conclusive at 28 days.  You are letting your emotions get the better of you.  You had a ONE percent risk with a one time unprotected sex episode. You will most likely be negative.  But you will need to test.  NO ONE can tell you anything other than that.
In my country I have Elisa test, I will do after 28 days. Thank you so much
Antigen/Antibody this is Eclia test, Yes?
after 2 weeks, duo test will be conclusive a little bit?
Duo needs 4 weeks, so testing early proves nothing and is a waste of time. Wait for 4 weeks, and try to relax until then, by thinking about her saying she was negative, because that is all you can do, so you might as well think about something happy. 1% chance times her being negative will = zero HIV risk
Thank you
Anxious, i’m sorry But you mean
“1% chance times her being negative will = zero hiv risk”
I’m sorry But English is not my native language
She said she is negative. If she is negative you don't even have any chance of infection, so focus on that and try to relax.
Thank you very much
I’m worried because I have a little throat pain.
Tell me please, is it a symptom two weeks after exposure, white deposits on your tongue?
HIV can't be diagnosed from symptoms so the first step to relaxing is to quit cold turkey your Googling symptoms activity and stop examining your body looking for symptom clues because it can't work. Your tongue probably looks like it always did but you didn't spend time looking at it before.
Thanks so much

Again, do not overreact and the above advice is hard to understand.  People do take the PCR test but it is usually taken at 14 to 21 days and is a 'good idea' that you will be negative with further testing done at 28 days if you get a negative result.  I'd personally skip it and just wait for 28 days and take the always reliable 4th generation duo.  
Do not be worry your risk is less than 1%  
Thank you for encouragement

Pcr test will Tell me if i’m infected or not After 11 days After contact?

unprotected vaginal or unprotected anal sex is a risk for HIV. if she said she didn't have HIV, most people will tell the truth if they know their status, and most of the population does not have HIV so we can assume low, but I would still test with a 4th gen test at 28 days to confirm your status. i suggest wearing condoms if you're not in a monogamous relationship.

Thank you :(
If i will do PCR test, it will be Ok?

Unprotected sex IS a risk.  but a one time encounter is low risk at around 1%.  so, not a big worry but you will need to get tested.  At 4 weeks, a 4th generation duo test is accurate and all other tests at 12 weeks. Make sure to use a condom every time from now on.

Thank you very much
I’m very, very worried
Can you get her to test? If negative, then all you have to worry about is her small window period.
I do not know it, it was occasional but she said she had nothing
I’m sorry about my English
