Hiv testing 4 th generation accuracy

Hey I hope someone here can help me out with this situation I'm in. About 11 weeks ago I hand protected intercourse with a CSW. At 8 days after I had an rna early test which was negative. Then at 4 weeks I had a ab/ag duo which was negative,5 weeks negative,6 weeks negative, 7 weeks negative, and at 9 weeks negative. But I'm still so bothered by the CDC guild lines that state 12 weeks is conclusive. What are my odds can anyone help me out. Thank you so much.

CDC doesn't make the guidelines the Manufacture and the FDA are the one's that make the actual guidelines.

It is true you were not at risk and testing really wasn't necessary. Still, you deserve an answer to the question you asked!

Your current test results are conclusive.  It is exceedingly rare, if ever, that anyone with negative DUO testing at 4+ weeks turns up with a positive HIV test (of any kind) at 3 months.  Someday maybe the official CDC advice will catch up with the science.

Since you were never exposed to HIV, your test will always come negative. Protection means protection. No exposure, as you were already told by firefly1987

You don't have HIV, you had PROTECTED sex. So no risk.
