Testing after completion of PEP

I had an occupational exposure and I am advised to go for PEP within 24th hour.
I completed my 28 days of PEP and took Rapid Test on the next day. It came Negative. I know that my result is not conclusive. Can you please suggest me some test which can give me earlier results.

Hi,

I am in 15th week from the day of exposure (or 11th week from the date of completion of PEP). Now I am experiencing symptoms like fever, severe throat infection where white and red spots on tonsils, feeling fatigue, mild pain on muscles & joints, mild head ache and overall feeling sick. But no running, no sneezing, no rashes and no swollen lymph nodes.

I am afraid that it may be an ARS symptom. Will ARS symptom occur at this time. Please help me with your suggestion.

Hi, Thanks.
My 12 weeks test turned to be negative. I have a doubt. Do we need to count 12 weeks from the date of exposure or 12 weeks from the date of completion of PEP.
Please let me know,
