16 days... What to do next?

I have posted another question a few days back to explain my situation.
8 days after a possible low risk exposure i had a negative PCR test.
Im worrried that i went too soon but the doctor who performed it has reassured me.
Last week im dealing with symptoms and huge anxiety. What test would be reliable at this moment?
I cant go back and have a new PCR. Its far crazily frustrating waiting for the result

You didn't have low risk - you had NO RISK.  Any test you take will be reliable, conclusive, and negative, because you had NO RISK for HIV.

Exactly pcr test may take a day or two that's why it's very scary it's understandable

I think you take pcr test as early at 7 days you took at 9th day I think it's very good very assuring I think you have made it out

But now just take ag /ab combo test 4th generation test at 21 days for early assurance and then just repeat at 28 days post exposure

I agree with your doctor you should be fine I think you really will be fine
