HIV/AIDS TESTING

I AM PERSON FROM INDIA,3 AND HALF MONTHS BACK I HAD INTERCOURSE WITH A PROSTITUE WITH 2 CONDOMS ON, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHETHER ANY 1 THEM GOT BROKEN,

Day after i had UTI , doctor diagnosed a UTI which i kind of had before the intercourse and i started feeling sick and then i began thinking about HIV.

After 17 days i got my self tested with RNA PCR COMBO ASSAY which came NOT DETECTABLE AND with value of 20 copies.
The lab attendent told me i need to give more blood and called me after 3 days ,but gave me the result after 5 days.i have read that it takes 5 days to a week ,but he asked for blood in between ,so can it be misleading?

After 3 and half months i got myself tested again with hiv1.2 antibodies and p24 antigen CMIA which  had .07 index value non reactive.

Should i get more test done because i experienced pain in testis some time back and buzzing in the penis ?

Anything but HIV. We've told you of no risk, you could consult a doctor or somebody on another forum at MedHelp because this forum is HIV prevention specific and that's all we can answer you.

Regarding hiv you should have never tested....

Remeber to use only one condom to reduce broken posibilites

you had no risk and didnt need testing.  if the condoms had failed...you would have known without a doubt.

your test at 3.5 months PROVES that you dont have hiv.

in the future...DONT WEAR TWO CONDOMS.  the friction between the two increases the chance of failure.
