hi, doc,
I am 28,male. I had protected sex with a female sex worker (oral and intercourse, less than 10 minutes).
I took Elisa tests at 5/6 and 7 weeks, all came back neg.
Do I have to wait to 12 weeks to repeat testing?
BTW,No obvious symptoms were found.
Thank you.

You didn't have a risk of contracting HIV and didn't need testing.

Thank you for your comments and suggestions!
If it is an unprotected sex,  what is the window periods? 12 weeks? How about the accuracy of a Elisa result in 6 weeks?
