Take a DUO test in 12 days as an indication. Follow up at 12 weeks with an antibody test for a conclusive result. Hopefully, your DUO will be negative, and if so, it will be extremely unlikely to change at 12 weeks ((some say conclusive)), but personally, I would still go for the 12 week post exposure test too.
Hello,
The result for CMIA DUO test has arrived which was done on 12 day mark. Immunoassay index states 0.29 and hence non reactive.
Should I still go for a test on 90 day mark?

Your Duo was taken on 20 days post exposure and it's an excellent indication of your status, but not conclusive. Your test is around 95% reliable. Yes, you should certainly do the follow up at 12 weeks for a conclusive result. I must apologize to you. When I said take the DUO in 12 days, I was actually aiming for 28 days post exposure, which would have been near conclusive.
Either way, with the 12 week follow up test, there is still no room for error. And when I say 95% percent, it actually means that your chance of infection through 2 acts of unprotected vaginal intercourse with a person of unknown status are actually WAY lower than than 5%. So, you're almost in the clear.
But, do follow up with the second test.
