HIV test after condom broke

Hi, i had several HIV tests after my condom broke upon vaginal insertion. I noticed immediately and pulled out. Exposure was about 5s or probably less.

I took a 4th Gen (Ag/Ab) test on:
Day 14
Day 23
Day 25
Day 28 15hours

Are my results conclusive?

Thanks Anxiousnomore. Are there any forum members that can comment their opinion on this? Very sorry but I am still pretty nervous.

We don't provide anxiety support. You've been told by your doctor and you have read here that your tests are conclusive. Move on.

Yes after 28 days so it's time to move on.

Thank you. Do I require further testing? I have taken a total of 4 Duo tests in total. My doctor told me that the result on Day 29 (28 days, 15 hours) is gold standard and it is conclusive. Abit hard to move on from this.  I am traumatised that the condom brokeā€¦

Does the risk/exposure matter? I have read a few posts on medhelp and some doctors have mentioned that a 28 days or more duo test regardless of exposure is conclusive.

Is it really safe to move on?

Your original question was clear so I presume you knew the meaning of conclusive. Therefore, further questions will not be answered.
