Rna test and PEP

I think my situation is somewhat complicated I will elaborate on how things went and ask my questions.
In March+ I had a high risk relationship with a female worker and then I took a blocking pill around 12 hours later. I didn't know if the woman was an hiv carrier or not. Then on the 31st day after the high-risk behaviour and the third day after taking the medication, I went to the hospital and had an antigen antigen test and it was negative. But I think I saw the woman in the hospital and at a very close distance and that made me scared.
So 41 days after the high risk I made an appointment with the woman to have an antigen antibody test and I also tested the woman myself with test strips and both came back negative. However, during the process I touched some of the woman's blood with my hand, which didn't bother me at the time, but later it scared me and I thought the woman might be in her window period.
So 10 days later I asked the woman to take a 20cp nucleic acid test and I took a nucleic acid test myself 14 days after that and all the results were tnd.
My questions are as follows.
1. if this woman is on day 20 of the blocker and her 20cp precision nucleic acid is negative, will she be infectious on day 10 of her blocker. Would her disease load be higher at this point?

2.Will my 14 day 20cp nucleic acid reassure me that I can expect a negative result if I go for an antigen antibody test on day 28.

Please help me, thank you for your answers!

Don't rely on someone else's test results to attempt to analyze your own risk.

Your RNA test will be a very reliable indicator of your HIV status at 14 days.  If you get a negative, you can expect a negative result on your 28-day Ag/Ab test.

Thank you for your reply.
Do I need more tests if I get a negative result on day 28?
