negative elisa western blot indeterminate with p24 detected

Hi sir,
I am 29 year male. I was encountered  unprotected sex with one well known married women (but I don't know her HIV status) 8 month before now I had fear and anxiety about HIV and I tested many times to clear my fear all my hiv test results are negative but only western blot is indeterminate only one antigen p24 present. My tests and test taken dates are follow
1. 5.3.15 antibody test non reactive
2. 24.3.15 antibody test triline method  negative
3. 30.6.15 antibody test non reactive
4. 17.7.15 antibody test triline method negative
5. 22.7.15 western blot test is HIV 1 indeterminate with p24 detected HIV 2 negative
6. 26.7.15 Elisa test is 0.03 negative
7. 2.8.15 HIV 1 DNA PCR qualitative test is negative.
This are my tests and
I consults my general partitioner and he said " nothing to worry about HIV you don't have HIV you are HIV negative " but my mind is not in peace I had anxiety and fear about it. I have the following questions
1. My western blot is indeterminate with p24 detected. Is p24 band will produce  all other HIV 1 bands?
2. How will i over come from this anxiety?
3. What is my HIV status?
4. May I need any other HIV tests?

Please help me sir I am in very feared about my life  no sleep no food I loose my concentration in work I'm very depressed help me plzzzzzz!!!

You did too much of testing,,, more than what was needed in your case. A simple antibody test after 3 months mark was enough for determination of your status conclusively. There was no need for a WB test, following a series of negative antibody tests.

Trust your physician and move on with your life, you do not have HIV,

1. An "Inderterminate" Western Blot test is not a "positive" test. Normally after 7 months of exposure and in a real risk situation, antibodies dominate p24. Antigens are more visible in the early stage of infection which is between 2-6 weeks.

2.Just trust your Physician and believe what he says

3.You do not have HIV

4.No, you do not need any further test. You have already done much
