Could I stop testing

Dear guys.

The period of waiting for testing was very very horrible. I had a pcr RNA test for hiv 1 at 12 days after sex. Then I did some times of forth generation tests at 2, 3, 5, 8 weeks. All of them came back negative. The doctors in expert forum indicate the forth generation test is conclusive anytime after four weeks. May I stop testing for that? My exposure was mutual masturbating and oral sex. I ejaculated into his mouth, but he did not ejaculate.

I have the following questions
1 may I stop testing?
2 I smoked a lot and basically had problems of sleeping, will them influence my immune system that affecting the window period?

Thank you guys

Dr's use an overly conservative estimate. This fourm says no risk.

I know the oral sex is recognized as non risk, however, the doctors in expert forum still think there is 1/10000 for getting infected by performing oral sex, right?

You never had a risk and never needed to test.
