HIV worried

Hello everyone, can you please help me to answer this question, as i had a risk and 4 weeks later i did blood donation, would that need me to test after the 3 months mark ( 6 months ) ?? or 3 months is conclusive?
i would notice that i tested 8 weeks combo test NEGATIVE
i meant that could my blood donation and the big number of tests i had effect the time for antibodies to be produced?
thanks in advance

Just to confirm that your 54 day combo test is conclusive, no more tests required.

Hi there.

Your blood would have been screened with the most modern tests.

For your own peace of mind, take a 4th Generation Duo / Combo test any time from 28 days following your last unprotected exposure, this will be a conclusive result at this time.

Also, always use Condoms for unprotected sex unless you have both been tested, it's just not worth the risk.

Best Wishes
