Test results conclusive?

After a possible exposure I have had HIV antibody 1 and 2 tests at 21, 158 and 267 days after the incident. Are the results conclusive beyond CDC reccomedations?

3 months would have been fine.If an HIV DUO test can indentify 99.89% of infections by 4 weeks you can see what a waste of time 9 months was.Whats done is done but I blame outdated HIV sites for this type of information to test out for longer.It's not right.

I just wanted to be absolutely 100% sure that i was negative. that is why i went with a test at 9 months. i wanted to rule out any possible co-infection issues that i didn't know about or had no symptoms of

Not sure if I have ever seen a "possible exposure" be an actual risk and my guess is that you did not even have a risk. But since you tested and over tested it proves you don't have HIV.
