Hiv negative at 184 days how accurate?

I was exposed to a man who has hiv around april 25-28  this year , and it was unprotected intercourse, i was to scared to test at first so i took my first test on

- June rapid hiv 1/2 rapid test & lab test blood from arm both came back negative
- July rapid antibody test - negative
-  August lab test - negative
- November 7 lab test - negative

I have had three bloodworks done in the lab and the other two rapid hiv tests on the spot, so how accurate can i base these tests, would i need to test further, i as the guy who i was exposed to we had unproted sex and he has hiv so what are the chances of me testing postive say around the end of this month in december, when should i re-test for a confirm test to completely rule out that he passed the virus on to me? thank you.

Btw i have had no symptoms except thursh which i never get and my period have become more frequent. I also had picked up a STI from him at the time i was exposed and that was detected through a swab but it has cleared up without me taking the full medication.

Congrats, you dodged the bullet, and as curfewx said, you do not have HIV, any HIV test is conclusive after 3 months, and remains conclusive whenever is done after 3 months mark.

Lesson learned, never ever unprotected again with anyone outside your mutually committed 100% monogamous relationship.

A real friend of a girl is mot her boy friend but it is a condom, that protects her from the risk

You have tested conclusively negative so you were lucky. Any test after 3 months is conclusive. Symptoms aren't used to diagnose, so there is no need to study them before or now.
