That story is hard to understand since you didn't use sentences.
I think you last had unprotected on July 1. Was it vaginal, oral or anal?
You tested July 3o, but was it called a duo (also known as a 4th generation test)? A duo is conclusive after 4 weeks, but other tests are not conclusive until 12 weeks so I need to know what kind was used.

I had vaginal and oral with out a condom.the person I had sex with didn’t tell me he had hiv.i had to find out through his child mother.then he toned me and he said he was undetectable .me and him both went to the emergency room and got tested his test came back negative I don’t know how that happened my test came back negative as well .my exposure was June 1st .i got tested June 22 nd then I got tested July 30th it came back negative.then I got tested August 24th I went to the emergency room last night cause I had a little fever and my tonsils is swollen they told me that when I took the test On August 24th which was three days ago it came back negative.
The test I took was a 4th generation test
A 4 gen is conclusive after 4 weeks so you are safe, therefore you only needed to test once. Further testing will be abnormal because you should move on from HIV instead.
You interact with others who cough on your lips and door knobs, so fevers are to be expected at any time by the billions of negative people like you who get them every year.
Thank you so much Im so scared cause online they said to get tested 3 months after exposure as well to  confirm.one more question.so if he is hiv positive but is understandable why did his hiv test come back negative is it bacause he’s taking his medication?
His medication could reduce his viral load. all tests except 4th gen have a 3 month window so if he got infected in May and tested on July without using a 4th gen then it might not show positive either.
  Some sites are overly conservative and use outdated guidelines like 3 months, however we rely on the opinion of expert doctors who state that 4 weeks is conclusive.
