what to do.. what is the risk in my case?

I need answer from an expert doctor only please. 2 years ago, i had intercourse with sex worker. She gave me condom to wear which i wore. but that was a very quality Rs. 1 condom. i was drunk and after that incident i got very scared. i dont remember whether i had condom on my place or it went away during intercourse. i also dont remember whether it was intact or broken during that stupid activity. I had DNA PCR done after 18 days. then 1.5 months and 3 months i took elisa test. then after 5months again DNA PCR. again after 9 months, 11 months, 1.5 year and 1 year 8 months, i took sometimes elisa and sometime both elisa and DNA PCR together. all were negative. this was a one time incident and it never happened again. neither it will happen in future. Pl confirm what should i do? is it possible that antibodies dont develop after 2 years? is it possible for virus to remain dormant and dont get detected by DNA PCR test? i have cough from last 6 months which sometimes fades away automatically and again reoccurs. i also had fever after 1 month and 3 months from that incident. pl tell me what to do? what are the odds/ chances in my case?

Let me answer your question simply.

1.You cannot test negative after 2 years. Even if you took 1 test or 20 tests you will be negative.

2. Stop testing, you might just end up with a false positive which is going to send you spiraling into anxiety. Statistically, overtesting could lead to a false positive. So move on.

First of all what do you mean by 'only an expert doctor'. If you want an expert pay for it. Secondly you have had multiple tests and they were all negative. Now take a guess what an ''expert" doctor might tell you?
