Confusing with results of the tests

I had multiple tests after last exposure( it was protected sex with sex worker who provided the condom).
Here are the result:

-2 positive clearview rapid test at  3 1/4month
- negative unigold rapid test at 3 1/4 month ( retest after clearview)
- negative Abbott eia HIV 1/2 at 3 1/4 month
- negative CMIA at hopital at 4 month
- negative CMIA at HIV center in Thailand at 4 month
- negative Nested PCR at 4 month
- positive clearview rapid test at 4 1/4 month
- positive oraquick rapid test at 4 1/4 month

  All EIa, CMIA and Nested PCR were tested in lab and blood were drawn. But positive results were tested by finger prick.
I have asked dr if I'm safe after CMIA. They said I was 99% negative. Bu why I still test positive with those rapid test.
Please help. I can't do anything rIght now. ( that exposure was only one in my life)

You never had a risk and never required testing in the first place.  You do NOT have HIV, move on, have babies, whatever you desire.

But why rapid test result still came back positive. Is there a chance that CMIA and PCR can't detect rare strain of HIV which rapid test can.  Please help I lost my job of this anxiety.
