how accurate is a rapid test after 27 days

i had sex with a girl and the condom broke and i took her for a rapid text the next day and her result was NEGATIVE, she fell ill two weeks later i do not really know the cause of her illness though but it got me worried, i did a rapid HIV test at 19 days and 27 days respectively and both results were NEGATIVE, what are my chances of staying NEGATIVE..... i am so scared.

if it was 4th generation then it is conclusive so you can go back to your normal life. Not sure why you are so concerned when i told you the same thing earlier.
In response to your inbox, there is nothing to worry about since the testing science is 40 years old so well proven.

You should not be in mental agony when no problem exists. If you can't accept this science, then perhaps one on one therapy will be useful to help you.

While she was negative there is no fear , your fear of she being in window period has small chance it depends on  luck , just relax and test her after one month with HIV an/ag test , if she was positive that dose not mean you also .

He can do his own 4th generation test now, since it would be conclusive at 28 days. If the girl has a conclusive test then that is also all that is necessary - but he has to find if she is/was in her test window period to determine if the test proves conclusively.
