HIV antibody test at about 11 weeks (78 days)

I am a male I had protected vaginal sex with a female on 31 Dec 2015
Antibody test on 25 Feb 2016 result negative
Antibody test on 18 March 2016 (78 days from exposure)result negative
Sore throat and runny nose after 80 days from exposure
These results are conclusive?
Do I need to retest??
Sooo worried

If your condom didn't break or slip and you used it during the whole intercourse, then you used it correctly. If I were you, I wouldn't have even gotten tested, and I'd trust your result at 78 days.

Hello, if you used a condom properly you didn't even needed to get tested in the first place, they call it safe sex for a reason. You can trust your tests and 80 days would be too long for ARS symptoms.

You have nothing to worry about. Some times a cold is just a cold.
