at the 10th week of exposure my hiv strip test shows negative after PEP.

sir,
i went to prostitute and used condom while doing sex with her. at that time on my right hand's middle finger, there is a 24 hour old small abrasion of 1cmx1cm which was not bleed, and i removed the condom with my right hand. then i feared that the hiv virus may enter through the abrasion. i don't know whether she had hiv or not. at the 14th hour of that exposure i started PEP with zidovudine and lamivudine. on 15th day of PEP course, i missed two doses and then completed in 28 days. on 10th week of exposure i made a test with hiv1/2 strip with my finger pricked blood and it shows negative. 1)is there any possibility that the test may become positive after 10th week.
2)should i use venous blood only or capillary blood also reliable.

You may have caused a serious problem on down the road by taking nPEP with your kidneys and your liver for no reason at all.  It's sad that a physican would even entertain the thought of giving you nPEP.

he also told the same that i am not at all at the risk of HIV. but as prevention is better than cure, i forced him to prescribe PEP.

you never had a risk and surely DID NOT need nPEP.  i am shocked that a dr would even give it to you for your NO RISK ! ! !
