Do I need further testing?

Gay man, passive, always had sex with condoms, never unprotected sex. Last sexual act was I think last days of February or early days of March, of course protected. Tested negative TODAY, do you think I need to have another test at 1 month? Am I in the window period? I've read that it can take up to 3 or 6 months.

Thanks.

Hello. To sum up, I took the DUO test 47 days after my last act. There was protected anal but unprotected oral, no ejaculation in the mouth but there was precum and I just remember a tooth started going bad back then so I am kinda freaking out right now. Tested all negative. Am I to consider my results accurate, or do I need another test in 3 months?

Thanks.

You never had an exposure and never needed testing.

This does not answer my question, the OP is asking an entirely different thing.

To sum up, my last act was March 10, was tested negative today and had HIV Ag p24 test and HIV Ab (1+2) tests. Are they effective?

Just checked actually, March 10 was my last sexual act. Do I need further testing?
