I really need help. please

Hello guys
I am so happy that I found this website to get the correct information I need.
Here is my situation
8 months ago I engaged in unprotected sex with a female sex worker 3 times in 2 days. Last relationship with that girl, I noticed that she was bleeding from her vagina and the blood was on my penis.
After 4 months from last exposure, I did hiv combo test (ag/ab) and the result came back Nonreactive.
2 months later, I bought hiv rapid test kit ( made in China) and one line apperad which means negative but after 2 hours a second faint line has apperead.
Now I am terrified because of that second line.
What do you think guys?
Should I retest?
Does hiv combo test stay suffiecent after four months or is it only good for acute infections?
Help me please.

If you read the test more than 40 minutes after the test stick was placed in the vial, the result of the test is not valid. Do not consider the result an indication of your HIV status.
