Worried
I had unprotected sex on June 1st with a csw. One July 9th I had a 4th generation antigen and antibody hiv test that came out negative. On August 13th I had a RNA DNA hiv test that came out negative or not detected. Then on August 25th I had another hiv test done, not for sure generatin, might have been just antibody but it came back negative. Still today I have what appears to be swollen lymp nodes on the underside of my chin on each side of my neck next to my throat. They are also sore. Are my negative test conclusive as I am struggling with these systems?

Your tests relieve your from all the worries related to HIV, because an HIV Duo test after 4 weeks is reliable. Newteb your test is conclusive, you do not have HIV, an 86 days test is conclusive irrespective of the generation of the test kit
I m facing similar situtaion as you. I had three hiv duo tests on 37th 53rd and 80th day after exposure and all negative. Now on 94th day I had developed some rashes on my hand and am very concerned. Maybe I should get a final test as per CDC guidelines which is of 90 days. Many on this forum will suggest you same.
