How accurate is a Rapid Ora Test after 8 weeks?

I had a bamboo tattoo done in thailand a few months ago - The tattoo didn't bleed and was on a very fleshy part of my body. I ordered a home HIV test, when I did the test at 8 weeks the results came up negative, the only symptoms iv experienced are a slight cold that I thought was hayfever when it started. When I go back to my doctors in a few weeks whats that chances the results will be positive? Its all I can think about? Thanks

The chances of you testing positive in 4 weeks when you visit your doctor for the situation you described is a big fat ZERO,because as you,ve been told you never had a risk to begin with.
