Hello, and welcome to Mayo Connect. I bet this has been an extremely stressful 4 months for you.
As to whether you are HIV free, here is the most recent guidance from the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/testing.html
Are you seeing a specific provider for your tests, or a community clinic?

These tests were performed at my PCPs office at Kaiser. Based on the CDC guidelines, a test that is post 90 days is conclusive and no further testing but I’m still having trouble believe my last test even though it’s 47 days beyond the exposure. It was a HIV screen test “HIV 1+2 AB+HIV1P24 AG, CLA”. I have tested negative for hep c, b, syphillis, chlamydia and gonorhea and 3 times HIV. I plan on making HIV testing routine moving forward at my yearly physical checkup. What are your thoughts? Should I do another test at 6 months? All of the people have told me I’m conclusive or sent me the CDC guidelines which state the test I took last 45 days is conclusive. I think it’s my fear of being that rare sub group who doesn’t seroconvert until later. Thank you all for your help!
