in the clear?

I had a condom break with a csw. I tested with a combi test (antigen and antibodies) after 55 days. I have read all doctors in this site say this test is fully conclusive after 28 days, so i should be confident that i was not infected right?

Have you ever seen a 55 day combi negative test turn positive after 12 weeks?

Please someone with kbowledge help me.

There are no tests marketed or sold to give a conclusive negative test earlier than 3 months.

then why would some of the best ID doctors in the world including doctor EWH and HANSFIELD say they are conclusive at 28 days?

Is 3 month conlusive for antibodie only test, or also for a combi test which looks for antigen and antibodies?
or is 28 days conclusive for combi test?

An antibody test at 8 weeks is unlikely to turn positive.  3 months (or 12 weeks) is still a conclusive test, but try to relax.
