Conclusive test hiv

I did the following HIV test:
1. 14 days (rapid test) negative results
2. 18 days (rapid test) results negative
3. 32 days (cmia or combo test) with method 1 negative and negative interpretation result negative

I was confused because my lab doctor did a CMIA test and suggested repeating the test in the next 3 months Are my test results conclusive? and am I free from hiv?

Thank you so much.

You never had a risk in the first place and didn't even need the first test.

only risks for hiv include unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV drug needles. Air and saliva inactivate the virus.
thanks a lot guitar rock. consider that I am very at risk vaginal example without a condom. is the 32 day cmia test strong enough or conclusive? is the cmia test a combo test or is it different?
you said unprotected oral, protected vaginal. ZERO risk. All 4th generation tests are accurate past 28 days but zero risk.

Anxiousnomore thank you very much for your advice. I do sound like a silly person. I just want to make sure because I don't want to infect my wife who is breastfeeding my child. I once again ask. if I have any risk of having a CMIA test on day 32 after the risk is it conclusive? sorry I have disturbed your time. because in my country there are many doctors who are incompetent and there is even one doctor who says that saliva can transmit HIV very much and there are doctors who advise me to keep taking tests for 3 months or even 6 months. but after I found the medhelp site and looked at the threads of others before me I became very calm and grateful. cmia test is only for my psychology.

What was your activity that created an hiv risk? Oral, anal or vaginal and did you use a condom?

protected vaginal sex and unprotected oral sex. I know I'm without risk but to make sure psychologically so I did a test because 2 weeks after this exposure my penis hurt and a rash appeared on my groin.
with sex workers whose status is unknown
