When to test again?

I tested at 4.5 weeks after possible exposure and got my negative results back last week yay! I want to get tested again next week...that would be a little over 7 weeks since the night it happened. I know results aren't considered conclusive until three months but would that be enough time to serve as a good indicator of what my status is? Also, how likely is it that my negative results at 4.5 weeks will turn positive at 7 weeks? Thankfully my anxiety level has gone down a little but it still makes me nervous!

Would results from a 4.5 and 7-week test at least be a good indicator? Sorry...I'm just really freaked out here!

We don't use stats here, just when a conclusive test can be taken.

But aren't there statistics relating to this??? I've been testing with the standard blood test.

You can obtain your conclusive negative test result 3 months post exposure.
