HIV test conclusive?

HIV test conclusive?

I had a blood test done at 5.5 weeks post exposure, which came back negative. While, I felt good about it, I decided to test again at 11 weeks. Once again it came back negative. The test at 11 weeks was an oraquick rapid test. Is 11 weeks a safe timeline to be totally negative? Plus are rapid tests accurate at 11 weeks?

3 months is conclusive but it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY that an 11 week test result will change.

A negative test at your time frame is unlikely to change, but the standrd time for a conclusive result is three months.

I figured 11 weeks would be a pretty darn good indicator of my HIV status. Not sure a whole lot can change in one week but you never know I guess. Would u recommend further testing or is my most recent result sufficient?
