I'll make it short. You'll have to wait for the conclusive result. All the numbers in the world would be guessing and that is something we aren't going to do.
am willing to wait but would like from proved tests what is the percentage of being almost in the clear. as i wait for another 4 weeks. i did rapid test. determine,3rd generation. does that lower the chances, thanks
DR GARCIA regarding testing after PEP:
" But if we stick to the clinical guidelines, one needs to wait 12 weeks from the end of the course of PEP"

Your test will be conclusive 3 months post the last dose of nPEP not from the time of exposure.
it takes a few min to verify what the cdc says reg pep..... individuals can have opinions... But the bench mark is what cdc says.. Checkup and get back.

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
Test 6 weeks FROM DATE OF EXPOSURE.
Test at 3 months FROM DATE OF EXPOSURE
Test at 6 months FROM DATE OF EXPOSURE
Most people misinterpret this period to be from date of pep completion.
I guess you did pep say 28 days thats around 4 weeks and add 13 weeks it becomes more than 4 months... Your result is unlikely to change and you are negative, just for sake of peace test at 6 months from the date of exposure and relax.
