10 week hiv negative

hey, i was possibly exposed to hiv over 10 weeks ago. 10 weeks after the incident i took a e-zh rapod hiv test which came back negative. do you think i can breath a big sigh of relief of is there still much of a possibility i could test positive in a month or so. also does anyone know of anyone who as tested negative at around the 10 week mark and then positive later on (minus drug users and anyone already with a weak immune system, ive heard thses people can sometimes take longer to test positive)

Thanks

I took a ten.5 week blood test=negative and then 4month rapid=negative. All from the last risky exposure i had. The nurse said she never saw a 10.5 week negative turn positive. seeing its only a week and a half from the 12. U should b fine but retest to rid yourself of anxiety.

When someone else tested positive is a nonconcern for you. If you had unprotected anal or vaginal sex get your conclusive test at 3 months. Use condoms correctly and consistently always.
