I think I did a fake test

Hi ,
I am from India. I had sex with a CSW 12 weeks ago.I have done HIV DUO by CMIA method.Test came back non reactive.However the test got completed in just 2 and 1/2 hrs.I gave my sample in collection center..That means the  total testing time should be around  1 and 1/2 to 2 hrs..Is this fine or should I have to repeat this test..I have done DUO earlier in same lab and it took around 5-4 hrs for results .I feel the lab has done some malpractices with the test.

DUO tests are very reliable, because the whole process takes place with the minimum requirements. For God's sake tests are performed by machines so there is no place for mistake if test is done in the correct window period.
