I am sorry I will explain. I had Protected sex with a TS, on Feb 9 2009,but I am worried because I am not sure if her condom stayed intact. There was some fluid and I am not sure if it was her semen.  I took a rapid HIV test 70 days later (April 20) and it came out negative. I am planing to take another test in two weeks. The person at the free clinic explained that I have to take the rapid HIV test three times in order to be sure of the result. This is very worrying to me because my test on April 20 could count for nothing. Again, How accurate is the rapid test at 70 days, and is there a better test to take?  Thank you for your help
